    What in 2023 is going to be interesting? Going to need a new truck.

    So definitely not a ford and if you’ve been driving a full size going to a plastic Toyota will be tough. my suggestion is RAM! If you want the best deal in the country call Rene with Mark Dodge in Louisiana. 5% under invoice and honest. I live in Colorado and got my truck from them and it was...

    Best Battery brands?

    So apparently there are many Johnson companie. I googled Johnson energy, labs and control. Well maybe Johnson energy. None I found have anything to do with batteries. Maybe someone can provide a link. I’ve always liked the interstate batteries and the sears diehard when there was a sears. Now I...

    Water Damage - Dodge claims no warranty

    I think you would be covered as would everything else. I left Kalifornia because of crap like this and the stupidity of the place. One of the good things about California is there are a few protection for the consumer. DMV is a big one as is the state attorney general and I think another...

    Run fast !

    I have had 5 Rams and have had very few problems. I had a ford and it was a lemon and a bunch (12) friends had fords and 11 of them had a bunch of issues. I had a Chevy 2500 diesel and although it was ok it was also too soft and the Alignment was alway wrong. Ram doesn’t need you. They seem to...

    Active shutters, what's the consensus?

    No doubt! I still couldn’t figure why some of them were so antagonistic.

    Ordered a 2022 Limited Ram 4x4 3500. As a temporary truck!

    Not yet. You could still call Renae. Just tell your dealer the truth and say you could get 5% under invoice. Tell them if they don’t deal just cancel. I have not received any updates. It’s only been about 3 weeks and it seems I shouldn’t expect anything for 6 weeks. Renae said to call her in a...

    New Ram orders, when, where and share what you know

    Travelers. I’m not afraid of calling them what they are. I saw the news with the illegals on the trains in people’s new vehicles. It was on flat cars though. I agree with you about the lock cutting. I doubt they’d do that for the reason you stated. Cartel fear is real with a lot of those people...

    insight in buying this truck please

    I’ve been checking fir the last 2 years and prices are insane. I’m going to sell my existing 2006 Cummins Laramie 2500 long bed with absolutely everything including a 5k after market kenwood sound system and nav With 141,000 miles and I should get close to 30k. Maybe it’s the shortage or the...

    New Ram orders, when, where and share what you know

    Most guys have been in D1 for well over a month. I went to D in a week from ordering. They told me not to expect to get to D1 for 6 weeks and it seems all the dates most folks get are total bs and they change. After D1 when they have your parts you get a build sheet and it’ll have a build date...

    Man I can’t believe they didn’t assign the vin till then but from what I’ve been reading after you go into D1 status which means all the parts for your build have been gathered it’s another month and a half at least till when you get your build ticket then it’ll be another month till you get...

    Ordered a 2022 Limited Ram 4x4 3500. As a temporary truck!

    I’m getting the SRW so it’ll have 3.73’s but I’m sure it’ll do me fine. It’s supposed to be a temporary truck but I’m now thinking I’ll keep it for 5 years but who knows? the wait will kill me. I’ve ordered a few vehicles in my life but this is the hardest. Im going to hate selling my ‘06 with...

    Ordered a 2022 Limited Ram 4x4 3500. As a temporary truck!

    Thank you sooooo much for chiming in. I heard about that dead pedal. Thought the pedal monster would take care of it but I’ll probably get it anyway as everyone who has them loves them. super glad you just said that though as I probably would have thought the truck is messed up.

    Ordered a 2022 Limited Ram 4x4 3500. As a temporary truck!

    Yeah I’m not thrilled with the lag but I’m not racing my truck. I could also get the banks pedal monster. Or whatever it’s called. But I ordered the Aisin too. 1075lbs of torque.. whoooya!

    You’re better off buying new then. If you call Renae at Mark Dodge in Louisiana you can get 5% UNDER invoice. Thats what I did on my special order. Now I have to wait the 5 months.

    Wow! Lucky! Not the same for most of us however. Not sure if it’s the 1/2 ton that makes the difference but we all ordered the HD trucks and we’ve been getting the 5 month and some have been waiting longer!

    New Ram orders, when, where and share what you know

    Yeah, me too. I was told by others that it takes sometimes 6 weeks from vin to see anything. Also told that when you do see stuff it’s often wrong! I ordered my 3500 limited on Oct. 15 and the most important thing the dealer told me was the 5 months I’ll be waiting!

    New Ram orders, when, where and share what you know

    Yeah it’s 16 hours from Colorado too. I figure if my truck actually gets built when they say it’ll be about beginning March. Mardi Gras is then and I’ve never been. Ive never been to Louisiana. I’ll make a vacation out of it. plus my dealer here said the best he can do is still 5k more than what...
