03 Ultras cont.
I received another email ... hope that it might enlighten more of us out there a little bit more ... it sure did me! :thumbs
"I can’t recall if Rick’s is one of the 25 or not, it maybe number 21 seem to recall we swapped one of the units. All of the signature series were painted at the plant with a combination of robotics and non-robotics, as are all SSR’s. These units were so early that any issues found later were applied to these units for instance they all got new roofs, tonneau and bed covers, anti itch patches, they all had engine chuff which we fixed, new window and roof seals, they got the stone guard on the rear quarter versus the clear tape on them when shipped, some got new engines and trans (I won’t tell you why), door linkage foam for rattle, lots and lots of the basic issues we shake out before we ever shipped to commerce. I have no clue what wiring changes other than the roof wiring. No other wiring was changed on these units to my knowledge until 05MY, that is due to Corp new standards. I didn’t buy the book because I reviewed and found that for the most part the participants were detached from what really happened. Kind of like the General Patton talking about front line combat when he was never in front line combat. There was more propaganda and fluff than substance. Rick Wagoner said build it and we did with the proviso we still meet business plan and budget that is why it is smaller than the one first shown at car shows in 2000..."

I am glad that I have an opportunity to receive these emails... I still think that the book is a great piece. It is a MUST HAVE for any SSR owner.
