I'm finally taking delivery today, probably after dinner. My truck arrived at the dealership about 20 minutes ago.
After all these delays I'm not counting my chickens till I have the keys in my pocket, but I think the day of reckoning has finally arrived. Hoping it won't be too stressful. I was *really mad* last friday when I was told they still didn't have the truck. Alls well that ends well I guess.

Wow, sorry to hear that it took so long. But, congrats on finally getting your truck. Hoping everything else goes smooth and seamless. According to COTUS I still have 19 days to go. Oh well, I'll be on vacation for about 1/2 of those days which could make it feel like a lot longer. The saga continues....
Be sure to post up some pics.

My truck has been pretty much flawless. I hope that yours is, too.

Called the dealer this morning and told him about COTUS changing back to awaiting shipping. He checked it for me. Train is broke down in Kentucky. Aint that A Bite. Any way for me to keep track of the train so I can see when it starts moving again?

I just found out from my dealer that my truck is sitting in the yard awaiting transport to the dealership. COTUS shows 0 days until delivery and a delivery date of tomorrow, however the dealer says he's seen instances where it took 7-10 to travel the additional 60 miles to the dealer. So here I sit hoping he's playing it safe and will call and say, oh it showed up early.

I can honestly say I feel for all of you guys and hope that I don't end up going through the same things once my truck hits the lot. However, my truck is awaiting shipment from the factory and I have an "Estimated" 19 days to go. The days just keep getting longer.

Brought her home last night 
Was only at the dealer for about an hour and a half total.
Exhausted today.. couldn't sleep and shot out of bed this morning thinking it was all a dream. Only things I've done so far were to remove those pink license plate frames from the dealer, and installed my husky floor mats. Might do the shocks today but the stock ones aren't as bad as I thought they were going to be.

Give me a couple more weeks and I will be there with you guys. Until then I'm living vicariously through ya'll so I need more pics to keep me going on this agonizing journey of waiting and hoping for an update.
