Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire thousands of new F150's, waiting on computer chip

Taiwan, the US, and Northern Europe are the main supplier countries. China does around %20 of the global chip production.

What does writing code have to do with hardware such as chips? Code does no physical function, solid state devices of different types will always be the "end user" of what ever process code is used.

How the devil does our country get us into these jackpots? Biggest, most advanced industrial power in the world and cant make computer chips?

Three local Chevrolet places have exactly 0 2500/3500’s on the lot. They usually have a combined total of at least 50+.

I believe that 's the been standard for all the Big 3 manufacturers for going on a year (anything bigger than a 1/2 ton)

A new half ton is like a grocery getter like it or not

Hell no, I'll wait on the chip.

By depending on and conspiring and colluding with the third world.

It’s not just Ford. My neighbor works for a local Chevy dealer. They have 20 new vehicles and 50 used on their lot, that’s it!! They are being told by the factory to not expect a new truck until late 3rd quarter of this year! He is the guy that looks for specific vehicles for customers throughout the country and says it’s virtually impossible to locate anything other than a basic work truck right now. Cars are a bit easier, but still difficult.

The chips are made in Mexico and the factories down there are working at 25% capacity.

Well, the manufacturers wanted the most profit margin they could get so they moved all the production overseas. We had a president who tried to fix it but everyone called him a meanie and a nazi for trying and tossed him out of office. Now we have a president who's gotten money from every third world chithole on the planet so he thinks having all our manufacturing overseas is just swell.

Bingo!!!

The handwriting is on the wall!

GM had a similar problem in January or Feb...

My wife needs a new cell phone. Hers wont hold a charge and wont take a charge sometimes. Wants an SE whatever that means. Had an appointment at Verizon yesterday and we were told there are no SE phones in Tucson and they don't know when they will be available. They had two on Saturday but we couldn't get one because we didn't have an appointment. Asked them to put one on hold and call us when it came in. Said they couldn't do that.

No need to buy a new phone. Go to Batteries plus and they will replace your battery with a new one for $60. The wife and I just got ours done. Beats $1000 or whatever. Most folks don’t know this. Your welcome

SE is essentially an iPhone 8

Rigs are so computerized these days that you can't work on anything. Remember the days when we used these to tune our engines?

Yeah Right The CEO of Ford COO Computer Chips is waiting on a lap dance
