unable to order diesel!!
Greetings.....I am shopping around my area for a new Ram 1500 with the diesel....I went to a dealer today who was unable to even get the diesel listed as an option for the truck!! not sure what's going on.......I decided this year to get a new vehicle since my others are 2001 Audi TT and 2003 Jeep Wrangler.........both with relatively low miles.....my motorcycle has more miles per year!! 2006 VTX with 53,000 miles. I finally got the wife on board....we went to the Auto show and both loved the Laramie Longhorn.....so that's what I am shooting for!! hopefully I will order one in the next two or three weeks!!

I would call around first, see who can actually get it or maybe check the Ram Trucks website for dealers that will have it
the dealer I went to has around ten on order.......yesterday they were unable to get the diesel on the site...they were able to get other engines!
That is certainly curious, I wonder if it was just a system glitch, or an actual supply constraint? I think the second allocation will start production in May, but regardless I don't see why that would keep the dealer from being able to order?the dealer I went to has around ten on order.......yesterday they were unable to get the diesel on the site...they were able to get other engines!
Unless, they've reached their allocation as a dealer and are not allowed more?? I'm really not sure...
apparently neither are they...the salesman was supposed to let me know today as to what's up! heard nothing....guess they don't want my business!!That is certainly curious, I wonder if it was just a system glitch, or an actual supply constraint?

hm.. how many other dealers do you have in your area?
I'm in conversation with another!hm.. how many other dealers do you have in your area?
I'm hearing there are now restrictions on DealerConnect. Supposedly Ecodiesel orders have been halted for 3 months because of configuration issues. Although I do believe the restrictions are due to allocation restrictions, because from what I've seen on a few other sites its not ALL dealers that are having the issue...I'm in conversation with another!
Interesting, good to know. Maybe it's the more high traffic dealers that might not be experiencing these issues.I'm hearing there are now restrictions on DealerConnect.

think to the dealer has to mark truck as sold to be able to order it. At first they told me couldn't be built, but it could. Some key in the dodge system to show truck is "sold" dealers can't order to just have on their lot.
Didn't know that, it makes sense.think to the dealer has to mark truck as sold to be able to order it. At first they told me couldn't be built, but it could. Some key in the dodge system to show truck is "sold" dealers can't order to just have on their lot.
happened to me at one dealer. Sales guy was very confused so had to go to a manger etc but that was the issue
I ended up with another dealer, closer to me....ordered the truck this past Friday......I'm guessing I should get it mid June!
Think more like August or September; I ordered mine on feb 20th still no vin.
That is weird, I'd expect by now they would give you a vin, they are slacking.
yeah ordered two weeks ago have a vin already
better hollar at someone before they cash that cheque!Think more like August or September; I ordered mine on feb 20th still no vin.
I been screaming at dodge up and down, I must have been 8001. I have a von but no vin.
dam that sucks..
hope ya get your truck soon
