I'm not wondering after reading all this that you got someone else's truck and they got yours? It would be one thing if it was just one item that was incorrect. But it seems like there are many differences in spec than what was ordered. Crazy how that can even happen with all the computer controlled assembly lines, bar codes, and QR codes. Unless it was build during all the "supply chain BS" and they just slapped what they had available on it and got it out the door.....

tjc transport Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 it has the ViN we were given. the issue was when making a change order on the order sheet, everything reverts back to basic order. so you need to change line by line. and since the salesman knew he was retiring in a few weeks, he did not care and only checked off the "important" big money items like cummins engine, allison trans, and navplus stereo. when i got the order sheet for the new truck a few months ago, i noticed a few items missing and called on them. three days later i got a new order sheet with all the correct items. than once ordered got the same build sheet with everything i wanted before it was sent to the factory for assembly. seems like a really stupid way to do business, but as they say, what do i know, i am just a stupid truck driver.
