Gentlemen
I picked this truck up a couple weeks ago.
6.7 Cummins Bighorn
I am looking to put painted fender flares on it.
NEW 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 3500 Truck Fender Flares Painted to Match - W/Bolts
I attached the link above. This seems super expensive but it will be nice to avoid paint chipping. Is there a cheaper way to get these? I have looked all over and this appears to be the cheapest route. Also, I was wondering if mud flaps would fit the truck with these installed? I cant seem to find anyone who runs these fender flares with mud flaps.
I plan to put a K&N filter and bug gaurd on the truck as soon as some funds open up.
Also, I run a CB with a Wilson 5000 Magnetic mount for hunting. I don't want to put it on top of the truck any more so I have decided to put a back rack on the truck and attach that and my cell phone booster to the back rack bar. Can anyone suggest one of these that will work with a folding tonneau cover?
I would also like to put in an auxiliary tank as I travel back and forth between Georgia and West Virginia for work and diesel is so much cheaper in Tennessee. I was hoping to get one that automatically gravity feeds into the tank but I want one that stays under the tonneau cover so the undesirables don't know its there. Do I need a controller to feed this or can I simply hook it in to be an automatic gravity flow? Seems to me that it would overflow if you just opened the valve and let it feed all the time. I'm new to this stuff with Diesel trucks so please bare with me.
Also, The dealer never really told me what I needed to do as far as break in maintenance... I'm assuming that after 6K I need to change the oil and all filters or just change the oil?
If someone with experience with all of this could chime in I would greatly appreciate it. I'm new to diesel trucks so I could use some information to get me in the right direction. In the mean time I will search some topics here to look for some advice.
Oh and if anyone is curious:
I am getting 20.5 MPG highway mileage driving back and forth between Georgia and West Virginia.
And not to **** in anyone's cheerios but I can tell you for free that my 2011 Hemi With JBA Headers/programmer/exhaust/CAI would flat out spank this truck.... I love the truck but its not my Hemi...
