(Newbie) Bought a new 2007 Dodge DRW

Hey guys! First Dodge truck and first post to this forum.

Just bought a new Dodge 2 weeks ago!

2007 Dodge 3500 DRW QC 5.9L Cummins Auto 3.73. SLT with Lonestar package, White with Gray interior.

My last truck was my first diesel, a 2003 Chevy 2500HD CC SB Duramax Allison. (be gentle on me, please! )

700 miles later and the new truck is great! Loving that Serious Sat radio!

Any obvious things I should be aware of before I get too many miles on my new baby?

Here's the pics.

Just remember that you won't fit so easily in those skinny parking stalls any more. Nice rig.

Welcome!

I too bought my first cummins....now looking for a 12V for my Brother. He's got the bug too!

Read around here and LEARN! I've had mine for <18mo & on the board for ~2.5yrs and STILL learning lots!

Enjoy.

Install some mud flaps behind the front tires. That dually bed is going to catch a lot of rocks (ask me how I know). You're going to love your truck.

Bought them. Just waiting for the perpetual flooding to stop long enough to install them.

Yep! I had the same "side effect" happen with my Duramax after reading on the diesel place.
