congrats on finding one that will work. I have never ordered one. Living where I do there are so many truck dealers I have always found the one I want online.

That's great!!! The lazy dealer didn't get your cash or credit for the sale....

So which dealer will get your warranty work, the dealer you purchased the truck from or the one that couldn't get Ford to deliver your truck?

Think we need to see a picture of this truck!

Dealers have a pretty good local network and share information with each other. Screw one of them and you may have screwed yourself...

Mine took 12 weeks in 2010. That was a long wait. Cost me a $400 4x4 module and a new battery in the vehicle I had at the time waiting.
