Thanks for the kind words traveler! I think you will be very happy with your truck. I'm about to hit 15k on mine.
On the exhaust, it's not going to effect warranty at all except for the parts you swap out. They would have to prove that the exhaust modifications caused whatever failure, and assuming it was installed correctly, isn't a concern in my mind. I like the side exit because it's different. The majority of the Rams come out of the factory with dual exhaust so it's nice to have a little change.
I do like that bed cover, especially the price. I'm interested in seeing how you like it and how water tight it is. I'll be needing something different here soon that allows easier bed access without having to remove a hard cover. (see below)
Unfortunately, the truck will most likely be up for sale in the next few months. My work is retiring our existing company cars and going with trucks this time around. As of now, it looks like I'll be getting a 4wd Outdoorsman most likely in monotone white, so I'm pretty happy about that. Pretty sure it will be the shorter bed though, which I can live with. Good news is the new truck won't have a payment and comes with a fuel card
. I won't need two trucks in the driveway so mine will be sold. Bad news, I won't get to mod the company truck... That's going to be tough. Haha
