We got a call from yesterday from dealer letting us know nothing had changed on the status of our build. Of course, they didn't seem to know about the plant being down for a month. If it wasn't for the info we get here, it would be a lot harder to being patiently waiting. A big thanks to resumespeed for the help he provides.

My dealer told me that it takes anywhere from 10-15 days to reach the dealer.I guess our delivery dates are when they actually leave the plant,not when they get to the dealer:confused:

Yes, they can sit at transport for up to two weeks (maybe longer). Typically, the transport company will wait for a full shipment to a specific geographic location (basically, they lose money if they transport one car at a time).


When my SRT8 GC left the factory, it took about two weeks to reach my dealer.

Thanks ... a nice surprise for a Monday morning

I also got a call from the dealer/agent this morning to let me know that the truck has been built (duh !) and it will be delivered to their site this Friday; I'll have it by Monday next week (being in Canada they have to do the licensing more or less in person)... seems really quick to me, but hey, who's complaining (still not sure I believe him but he was adamant that it would make this week's scheduled delivery) ... now to try and solve the elusive snow tire riddle.


Congrats dude!!

To save you the trouble they have no clue about the Goodyear tire recall that's buzzing around another part of this forum. They are installing a Mopar CAI when it arrives. Hopefully is goes smoothly.

If you are affected by the recall I believe you need to go to goodyear dealer to get the work done. Where did you buy the CAI ? I was trying to find a Mopar dealer in the GTA separate from a dealer but so far no luck.

I tried Goodyear but they sent me right back to the dealer. Since I have not received a letter yet I'll just wait it out. My VIN is in the range they listed. I bought the CAI through Woodbine. They did not have a clue what I was going on about so I gave them the part number myself and they ordered it up. Should have it installed in the next couple of weeks.
