Bought a new 2012 SLT quad cab 4x4 Diesel 6 speed manual today. Hopefully take delivery of it tomorrow. It was time to let the 05 retire from my service.
Plus needing a reliable truck for work I figured I should try a new one.
The 03 was a peice of junk, the 05 was decent, heres hoping the 6.7 is a dream.

 

Nice, glad to see someone buy a 6-spd. Whats the specs on it?

 

Congrats....Hope your luck changes with these dodges...

 

Congrats on the new truck!

Coming from an 04' to a 2012 was a very good change I've found. I'm very happy with mine, although it is an auto and not a stick. My only complaint is the fuel economy, but I expected that with the emissions junk on it, which is going to be ditched here come spring time.

Deletes, a stronger clutch and hydraulics and you'll be laughing with that rig!

 

Another congrats from me also!

Manual transmission is the only way to go!


And of course we need pics!

 

The truck is Flame Red. Is a Quad Cab 4x4 Diesel 6 speed manual.

So far I have only put 10km on the truck. I like the exhaust brake, interior lighting is awesome, the built in inverter and the rear slider.

I find the seats really comfortable, and seems to be more spacious then the 3rd gens. The guys will liek that more.
The two under floor ice boxs is a good idea.

I will get some pictures of it tomorrow. I am pretty happy so far.

 

Long box?

That is one very nice rig Derrick....

 

I would delete the truck ASAP. It just fixes most of the real issues with these new trucks. Congrats on the truck, mine has worked flawlessly since I bought mine. Nice looking truck buddy.

 

Anyone know of a decent place to get some running boards.
Thanks guys

 

Not sure what type of running boards your looking for...But I had this site bookmarked for years..

We have to try and get a GTG to see this new rig of yours..

 

Derrick, does your truck have the high idle option? I think H&S has a tune to enable the high idle, if you don't. Sure comes in handy in the cold weather, for those guys that actually use our trucks for those 14-20hr days of operation

 

No it doesnt have the high idle. The dealer wants $700 to enable it. I guess it as stupid as them sending a truck to Canada in the winter time with 15w40 in it.
Typical Dodge extra for this extra for that, yet if you buy a automatic it is free.

 

My 12' came with the high idle... Or is it a standard thing on the autos? $700 is highway robbery

I already dumped the 15w40 for Mobil 0w40 synthetic, right before the cold snap too. Its downright ignorant for them to let a truck go out with oil that turns to molasses below -15...

Edit, didn't see the free option part about the high idle on the autos
