VIN # Help needed

so I’m looking at the Mike Murphy Ford site where I can enter the Vin# to see the window sticker. I’ve actually done this before. My truck’s build date was supposedly 5/19-5/25.
Well, I was just going thru the motions and the window sticker popped up unexpectedly.
I’d post the Sticker but there is a grey image covering most of the sticker. ( whether I use the phone or computer.) Is there another site I can see the entire sticker without the gray blackout — or how do I eliminate the blackout as the sticker is obviously underneath it?
The sticker does say at the bottom:
Ramp one RA29, transport by rail.
line near bottom says:
JD301N RB 2X 840 001888 04 30 18
Date on bottom of sticker says today’s date
05/01/2018.
Can anyone interpret these numbers with expected build date, and potential arrival at the dealer?
Seems to be happening faster than expected, and I’m probably the first not wanting this to happen
Also how do I get rid of this gray blackout covering most of the sticker? Thank you

Have you checked your monitor ink reservoir late?


That should clear up, mine did that for a couple of days.

didn’t work— said window sticker has not been released, but obviously it has.

the Murphy site worked, just can’t get rid of the blackout over most of it. Anyone know the secret?

Ok finally got a clean window sticker.
Anyone know how to interpret the numbers and dates that I mentioned in the OP?
Build date?
potential arrival at dealer?

Larry,

if you don't mind me asking, when did you order your rig? Mine supposedly has a build date of May 8th, but I still don't have a window sticker. thanks

David:
If I remember correctly, my order date was a couple days before you, 3/21/18. Build date was initially 5/19-25. I don’t know how to interpret the numbers on the sticker, but it appears this is happening faster, and I’m probably the only guy not wanting it to be faster.

hmmm. That's odd as I've seen my order summary and it has Priority code 01 on it. Your sticker came up on the Ford Direct site? Or the Mike Murphy site?

Yeah, I really need this rig as my TT is in transport now. Oh well. not much I can do about it. I guess I just wait more. keep us posted.

David
