New owner

4x4

I bought the 4x4 with crew cab. Looks like I am going pick it up on Friday, it is out for rust proof and undercoat. I did not have my 2001 ram 2500 rust proofed on Dodges recommendation and rust is what made that truck end of life. Sold it this afternoon. Sad to see it go, been driving it fifteen years. Hope I get the same service from the new truck.

Good lesson to be learned.
I've read great stories about vehicles that have been rust proofed and driven through 10-15 years of salted roads without issue!

How much are you paying for the whole rust proofing job?

About $700 for the undercoat and rust proof. Hopefuly it works.

Thanks

Is quite a bit quieter that the 2500 Cummins. I think the neighbors got worried then they did not hear me come home.

Second week of ownership

I have had the truck two weeks, 600 miles. I have hauled lumber with it, launched boat and towed a 2500 pound camper home thru the mountians. Very happy with the truck, have no problems and the milege was running high 20's until i hooked up to the camper then it was high tho mid teens. It towed the camper well thru the mountians but i was a little suprised at how much fuel i burned. I am not sure if i was unrealistic or if my foot was two heavy. I was running on the plus side of 65 the hole trip. Be intrested to see how it does on the flatts and if i slow down a little. This is turning out to be a great truck.
