Cool Something followed me home...

Well.. Went to the dealer today and couldn't leave her there.. Its still there for some extras to put on, but should be home soon.

08 - 2500 Cummins (of course) Laramie Mega... With the deals on the 08's now, it was hard to say no..

No Blinkin way!!!

On trade it was worth a bag of pucks... That being said, this was a demo for Edmonton Oiler Steve MacIntyre, comes with autograph.. Too bad I'm a Calgary fan...

Congrats J, its a nice looking truck. Glad to hear you are keeping he 12v though. Your boys should be a little more comfortable in the new one. Is it an auto or manual?

Look at you upgrading! My new cross-shift has a 6.7 MegaCab. Can't believe the cab room-and he hasn't had a lick of trouble yet with the pollution stuff which I must admit shocks me with the operating lifestyle. I haven't even started mine since the Edmonton meet....

Nice rig! It is hard to pass up the deals on these things I was blown away at the numbers on the trucks at the Southside show in Red Deer

Congrats, very nice truck.

Just give DiggerDave a call. He's the Alberta 6.7L expert & he will quickly get your warranty voided!!

Just kidding, I wish you well with the new rig... Joe

Thanks guys...

The price was the big incentive.. I missed out on the 0% by a few months. They were running about 10-12K less than a comparable 09 model. And haggling on units sitting there is a bit of a lever, demo etc...

Its auto, finding a stick is next to impossible, especially in the MC. From the search it was 1 of 8 '08 MC's remaining in the province, the only Inferno Red.. But after driving it around in T/H and the Ex brake, it won't be that hard to drive. I am planning on it to be the stocker to tow the RV. I may go the delete route after a few months for both the EGR and DPF, not sure. The new Smarty is coming out soon though.. Hmm.

I wasn't planning on getting one yet, but after the Southside show in Red Deer it got me thinking more seriously about it.

if you don't mind me asking, what was the sticker price when it was all said & done.

Nice truck buddy, I'm jealous.

I'm thinking about tradein off my 08 1500 ton for a new 08 3500 ctd. They will take my truck without too much loss from what I bought last year. I've been bottoming out on these lovely lease roads up here. Dodge has some smoken deals on trucks right now. I bottomed out coming into GP earlier this week pretty hard. Almost broke a rear springs.
