With regard to engine break-in, I read some interesting information from other members in this forum thread, at this link: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/break-in-procedure.157199/ In the thread above, there is mention about getting the new engine piston rings to seat properly. See...

It was about 12 weeks for me. Here is a link to my full timeline, as I documented every step of the way: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/22-s550-tracking-thread.171280/post-3476158

Below is a link to a more complete post I did on it a few months ago. In my post I also have a YouTube video, and if you watch starting around the 16 minute 40 second mark, you can see how that guy described and did his railcar tracking...

I am surprised to see Ford Performance giving out railcar numbers (now). I was previously told this was something they did not do. I asked back in March, and they said (at that time) sorry, they couldn't give me that information. Well, if you have the fortune of knowing a specific rail car...

I found the company that handles the local deliveries (via the unloading railyard), and then found a way to get access to their tracking system. Once I had the account, I was able to login and search by my car's VIN and monitor all the details. Below are screenshots of how detailed I was able...

+1 I was lucky to be able to track my car's last step in delivery almost in real-time from the local railyard, and by truck (10 miles) to the dealership. As soon as I saw it being trucked to the dealer, I immediate called my sales guy, and told him I'm coming in to get the car. I missed by a...

Very interesting what the sales manager said. A seal issue on (some?) recently built Mustangs, causing an oil leak? I'm curious if anyone has more information about this. Thanks.

You raise an interesting point about activating. When my car showed up at the dealership, that was when I first downloaded the FordPass phone app (iOS/iPhone in my case), put in the VIN and "activated" the app to be linked to my car. That was when I could "see" it in terms of mileage last...

I don't believe every single line of the Modules ("BCE Modules" as seen in the screenshot example below) has to be filled out. If you are seeing data for your VIN, then that is confirmation (a "good sign") that things are happening production-wise with your vehicle. Conversely, if you get NO...

Perhaps another helpful way to track the production of your vehicle is to monitor when the modules and SYNC data gets updated and shown. The two links below are to previous posts I wrote describing them in more detail. Modules...

Just curious -- were you verbally told "locked in" on the price, or did you also have a signed purchase agreement?

You can talk to your dealer, and see if they can change their system to use *your* email address, and not theirs. Or if you have your DORA sheet from your dealer, you can use that information and contact Ford Performance during business hours to get the latest status on your vehicle...

Today I got and installed BMR Jacking Rails on my new 2022 GT. Took about an hour from start to finish. Fairly easy install. Longest part was probably scraping off the seam sealer near the front two bolts (on both the Driver and Passenger sides). I used blue threadlocker on all 8 bolts (4...

Below is a link to another independently developed Ford Order Tracking App. I found this on the Bronco 6G Forum. Seems to consolidate a lot of the same information: https://ordertrack.app

This is TentacleKitty. This cute little animal was given to me as a gift years ago. It is always in the Mustang, for every ride, every mile. This TentacleKitty resided in my first 2015 Mustang for 4 years, and now in my new 2022 Mustang.

For vehicles in the unscheduled order bank the "Scheduled for Production" and VIN emails from Ford typically are sent on Thursdays and/or Fridays. Getting the email means your vehicle is then considered "scheduled" for Production. Also note that you may continue getting further emails from...

To the OP, it may get "built" but there is a real probability that it will not "ship" due to parts shortages.

I think the video below might help explain today's Mustang production situation, but on a smaller scale (compared to the trucks):

As for a car's actual build time, I think there is a varied answer. Body panel stamping/production and painting are usually done well ahead of a chassis rolling and being assembled on the line. So I imagine there is a staging area (or many areas) where hoods, fenders, trunks, doors and various...

On your DORA sheet are the Sales Code and Order Code. During business hours, you can contact Ford Performance (see link just below), and they can give you the latest status of your order. Ford Performance: https://performanceparts.ford.com/contact-us If you are curious about one person's...
