It’s not an ABS sensor, it’s the computer that runs the ABS from what I’ve been told.
Do you have a firm date on yours? Mine had a firm date of Sept 20 but they had 25 shut down days, so that puts me at Oct 15. From what I’ve been told, no firm date means that you could end up getting kicked farther down the line.

Ah ok. My mind was thinking sensors across the board.
No my salesman didn't mention a firm build date but did confirm I made the cut for it to be built this year. He was telling me that trucks have been built since July and are sitting at Texas Motor Speedway and other holding areas in Denton still waiting on parts to finish them out. What he did tell me was not to sale my truck until it's physically at the dealer. He mentioned one guy's truck was built in July and he sold his current one thinking delivery was imminent but unfortunately it's still waiting on parts.
I also ordered a GD reefer trailer back in March and its supposed to be built this month. My salesman hasn't heard anything on it and that's the one I'm more concerned about and afraid they might cancel it. Granted I don't really need a new reefer but with good newer model S600 TK GD trailers bringing crazy amounts I'm ready to capitalize on it.Long FLD Thanks this. -

One guy I see at work. Says his boss is trying to get a new Pete. Was told orders are 2 years out now. And the dealer has to cut back orders by 50%.

That happen to me. I sold my truck and been waiting for last 60 days on my new one. Got told on Thursday it finally made it to the decking yard.
Kind of ######## that Peterbilt can charge you for wanting to change something on your build the closer it gets to build date but they take 60 extra days to finish a truck with no care in the worldCat sdp and Speed_Drums Thank this. -
I’m sure it bothers them a little to have a field full of incomplete trucks instead of delivering them to the customer, but that’s just my guess.
How long has it been waiting to be decked? I’m paying $1000 extra so that as soon as mine is ready to go the dealer sends someone to Denton to drive it up instead of waiting for the drive away company to bring it. -
Still waiting on my two KW. Built 2nd week of August. No eta available.
