    2019 6.7 burned to the ground

    Roy, Don't bother with Mopar. Dealerships are independent franchises, and as such, Mopar won't and honestly CAN'T do anything for you on this basis. Call your insurance company, file a claim, give them every single solitary DROPLET of information you have, and tell them to have their legal...

    Dealership CALL OUT - David Stanley CDJR, Oklahoma City, OK

    My apologies for going slightly AWOL.......I have been trying to buy a truck six ways from Sunday. Over the course of last week, I tried to buy FIVE trucks. Admittedly, three were at David Stanley, and you all know how that turned out. So I tried a different tactic, let's switch to an older...

    Dealership call out -- well done!

    I know there's good ones out there, and I'm glad you found one of them! But we all gotta know about the bad ones, too! I'd hate to see anyone get screwed over at one of the juke joints! Tim

    Dealership CALL OUT - David Stanley CDJR, Oklahoma City, OK

    Yeah, I know, but MAYBE if FCA took an interest in how their dealer members represented the brand, perhaps they'd all be better off. Utopian thinking, to be sure......but a fellow can be forgiven for dreaming, right? Tim

    Persistent loud squeak noise over bumps and when backing out every morning. Dealer can’t solve.

    Spray the upper shock mounts with silicone spray. This is NOT a permanent fix, but if it solves it for a little bit, then you know exactly where to tell your dealer to head. Tim

    Dealership CALL OUT - David Stanley CDJR, Oklahoma City, OK

    That's really sad, too. It doesn't have to be this way! Tim

    What is this called and is it safe to drive back to the dealership?

    Without that crossmember tying the front control arms together, every time you hit a bump or go over a dip, it's flexing the frame mounts the control arms are tied to. They are NOT designed to be flexed that way! Do not drive the truck, and also request that their frame shop certify that the...

    Dealership CALL OUT - David Stanley CDJR, Oklahoma City, OK

    It's me again! Attempt number 2 - up in smoke. With the advent of the HOT finance deals on Ram trucks right now, I figured I was good to go for sure. David Stanley was not but a few hours away, and had several trucks on the lot that fit what I was after, so I called them at 10 AM yesterday...

    I swear, I'm really trying to get a Ram, but......

    The dealer didn't understand when I told them if the truck gets stolen.....I DON'T WANT IT BACK.

    I'm out!

    Actually, my thought was a cool exhaust, a nice radio, a few upgrades here and there, with some cash left over for incidentals........you know, like a blower?

    I'm out!

    I like where your head is at. Actually, had I taken Capital One's financing, it would be right at $12,000 ($11,804, to be precise) in just interest charges. That's before dealing with depreciation, taxes, fees, anything! That's a lot of coin to just use someone else's money. Do you know...

    I'm out!

    I do have a credit union membership. However, they will not work with a dealer that isn't semi-local. Both trucks were out of their reach of where they like to do business. For the record, they would go at 5.5% if I bought at a dealer that they did business with, but let's be realistic...

    Ticking noise

    Can you upload it to Youtube?

    Truck won't start...

    If the RF Hub went out, look at the rear window trim, make sure there isn't a crack. Water can leak down and short out the RF hub.

    I'm out!

    I would like being a pilot car. I love to drive. But don't feel bad. I work two jobs - one as a sales rep for a CNC machine distributor, and the other at my repair shop......and I still can't pay cash for a truck.

    I'm out!

    I considered that, but you also have to remember - houses cost WAY less in that day. If I can buy a truck super right, then I can always refinance later.

    I'm out!

    Thanks for the compliment! I like to think I can pick a winner. But, I get where you are coming from, and it's a valid point. If I was single with no kids, I'd definitely say we're all in. But the decisions I make has ramifications for the entire family, so I have to think a little harder...

    I'm out!

    Honestly, because I have not had a new-ish vehicle since I bought my 1995 Grand Cherokee, which I still have, LOL. Every car has been bought cheap, and repaired, including my 2009 F150. I'm going to be 50 soon, I just kinda wanted to treat myself, but I didn't want to go broke doing it...

    I'm out!

    Actually, I tried it both ways. In this case, the dealer was cheaper. I have a VERY long relationship with Capital One, and decided I would try them for auto financing. They quoted me 9.1%. And that's the thanks I get for never missing a payment in our 18 year history.

    I'm out!

    My apologies, I just noticed I typed low 20's on the price tag. I have edited it to show on the MILEAGE! If I could get either for low 20's in price, to hell with the interest, I'd buy BOTH! Tim

    I'm out!

    7.6-ish. Only way to get the good interest rate was to go V6.

    I'm out!

    OK, folks.....I tried. I zeroed in on two trucks. Both were 2019 Ram 1500 Laramies, both with 5.7 Hemi and 4x4, both with panoramic roof and 12" Uconnect. One was Delmonico over silver two tone, the other was solid Delmonico with the 4x4 Off Road Group, and both were in the low 20's on the...

    I swear, I'm really trying to get a Ram, but......

    Oh yeah, I can get the trailer brake control for the '19 up, and flash it in, no sweat. That list isn't exactly rigid, if you follow my drift......it's kind of a guideline. The items I will not BUDGE on, have to have - that comprises the accepted spec. That's the baseline, if you will. I make...

    I swear, I'm really trying to get a Ram, but......

    That's kind of my downfall a little here.... I want specific items AND colors. I'm paying out the ass for it, so I might was well find what I want. I did break it into boxes though. I have the "Accepted Spec", the "Preferred Spec" and then the "Dream Spec". Accepted Spec = Crew Cab, Hemi...
