The 03 started off day one with an oil leak,than it ran like crap ended up having a bad valve. New engine ran great but truck vibrated under load and dodge couldnt figure it out.But im past all that now .Did i mention the new truck is RED

Nice. I assume when you ordered, you thought you would be getting another 305/555, but then it was converted to the new engine? That would explain 4 months?

DEJE,

Interested in the fuel mileage you might get. When you get a handle on it let us know.

Nice truck. You should have mentioned it was red.

Nice truck.......love the red, but my previous two CTD's were Flame Red Sports, so I opted for the Bright White Sport this round.

Didnt cost me a dime to get the new truck .Dodge replaced the 03 with the 04.5.Really like this new truck the other one was such a pos .Fuel mileage for the first tank was 442 miles divided by 26.5 gallons =16.67 .2nd tank not nearly as good i have found that the more i use the pedal to the right the faster the truck goes, and goes through fuel

Deje, when was your truck built or better put, do you have the 325/600? Yours was probably built on the cusp of the changeover.
