As of the 18th, mine is also "teporarily delayed". I guess I won't sell my present truck just yet.

I must have been lucky, I ordered my 2001 F150 XLT 4x4 SC on 12/4/00, the dealer gave me an ETA of 1/26/01 and it showed up on 1/17/01. It was built in Virginia. Good Luck !

Fritz,

No, my build date did not change. As a matter of fact that, in a way, was the concern I had. Until yesterday the VOPC had my last update as of 12/4 which to me seemed a little odd. I got to feeling that I was the customer that time forgot. The new update cme out today as I got the old 12/4 update yesterday.

i was in a service garage the other day getting an inspection for my mustang, and i overheard the mechanic saying to a customer who had an older f150 being repaired that there was a national shortage on some ford parts, and it would be 2 weeks before the guy's part came in. this could have something to do with the lightning delays, but maybe not..

Undy,
Did your build date change? or is that the date you originally had?
