After a seemingly endless wait, a window sticker!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Ordered my truck on March 30th. Finally, after waiting 62 days, I have a window sticker. Sales manager says I have a build date of June 8th. I was starting to think my truck would never get built. Lots of folks on here ordered after me and many are already driving their new trucks. I never did get an explanation for the delay, but at least now I know she's coming. :-drink

Where do you find the window sticker? I ordered on May 6th, and my dealer gave me a VIN last week. He also said I have a build date of 6/12. It has yet to show up in COTUS, and has shown up in ETIS with the fake build date...

Jim, Thats crazy, I went in the dealership on 5/13 and my window sticker showed up today. (I cant figure out how to open it, lol. But it does show up on cotus. It also shows in production as of today. How can any truck (yours) take so long to get moving thru the system?

I got my VIN on May 12th and got my sticker today. I went to this site and typed in my VIN. Look Up Window Sticker. I got the link off someone else's post on here. Research maniacs.com also has a link to look it up. My build is an F350 and has never shown up in cotus. I also have the hold date in etis. I guess that will change after the truck is built. One of the other members on here had an F450 built recently. His name is Johnpsz. His posts are a wealth of information.

If you got your sticker today, my guess is that our trucks will be riding down the line pretty close to each other next week. Congrats.

Thanks Jim

Congrats, I know it took a while to get here, now things are going to seem like they are moving more quickly, after that long wait...

Congrats to you also. It must have been painful to wait as long as you have. At least things are rolling now.

Just used your link and my sicker shows on this site but won't load on COTUS yet.

Mine doesn't show on the VIN lookup link or in Cotus. Hopefully tomorrow. Looks like our Trucks were ordered around the same time.

BGMSPD 05-31-2017 08:01 PM

Yup and should travel down the line around the same time.

Ordered ours 4/25, got the VIN 5/4, got W/S 5/24. Using Johnpsz "here are the basics", I figured the truck would be built yesterday or today... sure enough the truck was built today!! ETIS still has no change, just the place holder date...
I have found that the 350s do not show up in COTUS at all, we'll see if ETIS updates anything tomorrow.
The next date change I'm watching for is on the bottom of the W/S (again per Johnpsz's insight) for it to go into transit.

Is this a previous post by Johnpsz?

so the bottom date on my W/S is now 5/31... doe that mean that's the build date? No change in cotus or etis
