December Build Date - Problem?

It use to be that cars built around the holidays were highly suspect for poor workmanship. Do you think that is still the case? Is there anything I can do when it is deliveried to minimize any problems?

Locked in for production during week of 12/6.

My 04 SD was built the week of 12/15/03 and has been perfect in all respects. Not one sign of poor workmenship anywhere.

They are crossed. ETA to Spokane is 12/20 - not sure why it would be faster to Spokane than Northern CA, but hey, either date sounds good.

Dodge has a better setup to watch your status. You can get the information on line and then you can track the railcar as it crosses the US. It was fun doing this, except when the train stopped for two days in a small town not that far from my house. I wanted to go down and unload the train personnally.

Here is hoping that ours is as good as Sparky's!

My F350 CC Lariat LB 6.0L etc....... was built on the 29th and VOPC says vehicle will be delivered following week (12/6/2004). Why is evereryone else saying 2-3 weeks after build for delivery?

I am in Florida. Is that the reason?

Where would you want to hurry to - the Pacific Northwest where I have snow or to Florida and the Sunshine

Ok, so maybe Florida is closer to Kentucky than Washington State!
