Understandable.
Well, I could be wrong, of course, but have been tracking this since aboot 2018.
With all the weird stuff going on in manufacturing between the Plandemic effects and chip shortages and everything else, who knows. It should have been out already but Ram held off on inking an agreement with ZF until not too long ago. Presumably because Allison was courting them too.
Hope I’m right because this 68rfe I got right now was obsolete the day they introduced it!
Cheers!
Be prepared for an oil shortage soon as well. It just hit us and multiple oil suppliers like Mobil, Shell, and Chevron have reduced our orders because they cannot meet demand. It hasn't really affected our customers yet since we still have some stock. I am being told that it is due to the week-long freeze we had in Texas that shut down the refineries that made the additives that go into the oil.
We also have over $12 million in parts backorders with Cummins because their second and third-tier suppliers are having a hard time keeping up due to the plandemic. Many of our other suppliers have a backorder list a mile long as well.
