I've been told that their hands are tied once it's in the rail yard. They have to leave it to the carriers to get the job done. Monday will be 6 weeks, and I'm really hoping it will show up. The scheduled delivery date was, and is still listed as Friday 4/12. But that was pushed back as the original date was Wednesday 4/10.

Well, it was sitting on the lot when the salesman came in on Moday morning! Picked it up monday night, but didn't get home till after dark...............tried for pics yesterday but tha camera was dead...............one more go round today and here's a few pics.
The color combo came out awesome in my opinion, I love it. This thing is SO much nicer than the Dodge, can't hardly get the smile off my face behind the wheel. My wife had only sat in my buddies 11, never saw one of the 13's at all before I drove it home. She was almost speechless, and I was amazed!
Still need to get the cab guard and toolbox installed, but I'll get there shortly.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I've gotten 250 miles on it so far, and it's hard to get the smile off my face behind the wheel. I love this truck! My wife is also thrilled with it, as she really had no idea what I actually ordered. I got the new STK ProRack cab guard on today along with my huge 27" weatherguard toolbox.
Also ordered the molded splash guards on Friday. Glad I did since I drove it in the rain Friday night and Saturday, and it threw road debris all over the rockers and the dually flares. They'll be here tomorrow, then I'll give it a good wash and throw them on. Also picked up a bottle of PM22A while I was there.

Had to give it a bath tonight before I could get some pics. I just couldn't take pics with it looking like it did. Just finished washing it and snapped a few pics, but again the lighting and background are terrible.
Finally feels like it's mine now with the window guard and toobox on. It was wierd driving around and being able to see out the back window................................
Mudflaps came in today and I picked them up, while I was walking out noticed that the "front" set was labeled "rear w/wheel lip molding". So I have the correct rear ones, and will have the correct fronts tomorrow. Hopefully I can pick them up and get them on tomorrow night, I don't want drive it and have it pig itself up again.

Got 550 miles on it so far and I can say is WOW! I love this truck. The seats are comfortable, it's quiet, and I don't have to chase the steering wheel all over the road. Still figureing out everything related to the nav/sync, but the hands free phone is damn nice. Got the mudflaps installed, and pulled the toolbox out and grabbed two yards of mulch so far. Heading out camping next weekend, can't wait to get the trailer behind it!
Still need to dig into the breakaway battery charge circuit so I can have camper lights with the key off, hoping to get to that this week, along with hoping it's the same and as easy as an 11 or 12.
