So if they are cutting shifts from 3 to 1 starting Monday at Dearborn, mean that 2/3 of us who have a build date next week are still going to have to wait longer. By the way my order date was 9/23. Sooooo close but

I would hope they would've had some lead time and would plan this into the scheduling already. But who knows. Did Dearborn for sure cut production starting next week? I haven't read that.

I would also agree with a poster in another thread that they'd cut stock order production before cutting retail orders that are already sold. ??‍♂

I’m still nervous. My status just switched back to In Order Processing. Checking every half hour. Haha
Mine still says in order processing, but when I clicked the window sticker button on the tracker on this site, it popped up. ?‍♂

Sticker just popped up ... YAHOO! Blend date of 12-Feb-2021. Hope that single shift in Dearborn hand picks a completely painted rear axle :)

Several XJs, a TJ, T-Bird, and an Expedition
Mine was scheduled to be built next week (ordered one month ago), sticker just populated this morning and it too shows a blend date of 2/12. I believe it's Kansas City too (perhaps Guard did that). I look forward to seeing what I ordered!

The blend number is essentially a list of parts for that specific truck for that morning’s production run. These parts are delivered to the line in the order they will be used.
The truck before and the truck after will have different numbers

The date portion would be the date that production should begin
