I really want to drive one, but Dodge is taking its sweet time getting them to the dealers

 

none near me. but i only live 40 mins for cummins and one of the employees from the R&D department lives in my town so he drives one home everyday.

 

I haven't seen any yet, but I might take a drive past one one of these days. I like the looks of them. Don't think it will get me out of my '98s, but we shall see.

 

I have the bug bad to buy something, I have wanted to get rid of the chevy for a year now. I am also looking pretty seriously at the new ford too. I think that the new 6.4 is a pretty good engine. Sure makes power easy for sure

 

They seem to make power, but they are fugly.

Hows you tranny holding up in the chev? I have I friend that is looking for a truck, I'm trying to talk him into a full size diesel, instead of a taco of equal price.

 

I haven't seen any yet but I'd sure like to check them out and shatter some poor salesman's dreams ("Its a nice truck and what I'm looking for in a rig but I'm just looking"). I plan on running my 04' for a long while yet. Probably till it hits 400,000kms or I blow it up, whichever comes first. After that I'm gonna be giving that Ford 6.7 a real hard look. I know crazy talk, but that truck is gorgeous. I just wanna see how that new engine/tranny combo holds up. Its that or a 4th gen Fargo

 

Talk to kevin, he could probably give you a hand blowing your engine up.

As for the Ford comment, well, I lost some respect for you. Ugly ugly trucks! I think I said something about that in this thread already.

 

Anyone else think ford put the headlights and tail lights on upside down?

 

hey check out some of the labour times to do repairs on the 6.4 lol I know there more reliable than a 6.0 but man labour will kill you unless you have warranty. But you'll probably void your warranty when you do a DPF delete. The new trucks jsut aren't that attractive to me. I'm dreading when the 6.4s start comeing into the shop for repairs.

 

I like the looks of the harley one... not the xlt's. Tate the tranny seems to be good. I think that if I got rid of the edge and put a real programmer in there it would be perfect

 

Don't get your hopes up, they are just starting to get made. Good old Dodge making the changes mid year They just started making 2500's about 3 weeks ago 3500's start dec 12 or so, so still a bit before we'll see any out there. I'm guessing by the new year they will be on the lots here.

Yea i'm thinking I will probably go drive one, but I have absolutely no intention of getting rid of my 04, got WAY to much money into it to ever sell it

 

My driller ordered one in august, he just got the serial number yesterday. He wont see it till Jan/ feb. They seem to have just started to build the pre-order trucks. His truck is # 265 off the line.

I hope he isn't expecting a "new" model 2010, because it will look like a 2009. Pre orders for the new ones weren't excepted until a few weeks ago, unless you mean he had the paperwork at the dealer all that time and the dealer waited until he could put the order in, and actually made sure it was for the new style. A LOT of people are going to be mad expecting a new model truck and not getting it.....

 

Paperwork was all done up for the new style 3500 in august and yeah they just ordered it a week ago, like i said he just recieved the serial # make and model also the new blue colour aswell. But you never know you might be right, im not to sure about all the details of the order or anything. Im up in Lloydminster for awhile working, he just called to brag about it yesterday. I wont be jelous untill i get to drive it lol...

Dodge should have no problem selling new trucks being the only new rig without urea. That 6.4 ford will kill you on the fuel, cousin just traded his for a 6.7 resistol,he misses all the ford fancy features and the mirrors but likes the instant and constant power,fuel economy and exhaust brake of the 6.7.
