I was told today delivery on my 08 F450 PSD was 2-3 weeks away, FWIW.

that sounds about right considering when you ordered it :) Mines about 4 weeks

Congrats to both of you guys. Get those digicams ready. :-D

Well, on TDG, a dealer has gotten 2 diesels. Hmmm..I am confused.

Cool, thanks.
BTW I was thinking of ording an air suspension package for my F450 pickup from Manning. My understanding is that they roll the truck next door to your plant to have it put on. Have you heard anything about this being done before? Pros or Cons on this?
thanks.

Yes they do take it next door. If you order a truck with say like a utility bed on it that is where it is put on at. As far has pros or cons i dont have anything to say. From what i have seen in the past as far as how they put beds on new trucks they do pretty good work.

I would just like to know why when I ordered my 08 on Dec 18th am I getting a build date of 2/26 when all you guys ordered after me and are being told earlier build dates :mad:

GMtoFord 01-26-2007 08:55 AM

I ordered on or about the same date as you and have a build date of 2/12 myself.

Could be, but with todays assembly line practices every component is scheduled to arrive at the line "just in time", any differances in components and even paint colors can effect when a vehicle is scheduled to be built.
