My Build Date?

A deep question to ponder......

I got my buid date from the dealer yesterday. My truck will be built the week of July 15th and delivered the week of August 5. This means it will be a Job 1 truck. Do you think buying a Job 1 truck is a good thing, a bad thing, or an indifferent thing? Will the factory workers be well rested after their two week vacation and come back motivated and ready to produce a higher than usual quality product? Or will they come back dreading going back to work and build shoddy product? Or (and this is the most likely case) am I reading WAY too much into this?

Ordered: 2003 F350 CC Lariat 4x4 Off Road Pkg Camper Pkg 4.30rear 6sp manual Dark Shadow Grey...ect, ect.... ad. nauseum.

Since there is really nothing 'new'....you should be alright

If there was a total redesign..then I might get worried :-X23

An indifferent thing.These folks have built bunches of them the last few years.If a person worries about all that could go wrong in a vehicle manufacturing process it would drive them crazy.Most of the work involved in building a vehicle is done to the parts before they arrive at the assembly plant.Such as engines,transmissions,axles,etc...There are a whole lot of machining processes invloved in producing these three items alone.

Enjoy your new truck when it arrives!
