I saw the 4 and final truck this after noon at Loves filling with fuel, it was a Red CC flatbed 4500 I believe. So my guess is it something different the Urea addition they are testing as 4500/5500 has that already.

I believe the addition of a DEF quality sensor is being added for 2013 emission standards.

Purplezr2 I have a plan. Next time you see one of those trucks parked. Just park beside him, wait till he comes out and ask for a jump start

Have Bark ship some Shrews to yew and next time you see them, unload the box when they open the door...offer to help...have a eye cam from Mission impossible clicking away while you scramble to assist with the Shrew collecting.
Another way to get a look is have a fall guy. One guy thumps the truck in the drivers blind spot, lays down screaming...drive attends to person while you infiltrate.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid.

No, it's not a joke. A lot of trucks are already using it.

Dodge is testing a new manual transmission, Reverse is over and up. And the test truck will pull away from my 2012 HO with 4.10 gears

Yes, I saw about a week ago I picked in a few, and saw they were six speeds, I didn't know the current configuration so I didn't know the difference on 6th

Naw... Ill leave well enough alone.

But, a seeing the new trucks with HO trim and a stronger handshaker to match would be really nice.

Even in LongHorn trim. (wink wink)


Ive got too much invested in my truck as it is. Only way I would get rid of it would be in the event of a theft or it being involve in a total loss accident.

I said a little about the trucks I have owned and problems I have had especially about the clutch infront of the G56 and how the HO only in a auto forced me away from the manual.

Sounds like the change in transmission might be for 2013 models. If it is what I think it is I am trading off my 2012
