Got my new 4500!

[Dieselnut59]

My new truck arrived! Norstar bed is incoming this week, as well as Ranch Hand front bumper. I gotta admit I love the way the Aisin shifts and they way it is well matched with the exhaust brake.
Truck is 2018 Tradesman 4500 4x4, 4.10 gears. I added "snowplow prep package" to get the 220 amp alternator, the transfer case skid plate, upfitter module and heavy front suspension. I also upgraded to "U connect 3.0" and added the backup camera. I got cloth seats and dual fuel tanks, chrome side steps and body side trim. Paint is "maximum steel metallic" which is about my favorite color I have seen on these trucks. Hopefully this truck will serve me as well as my 1996 and 2003 do.

Congratulations on the new truck! I have the same color and it's my favorite also.

Nice, you'll have to post pictures with the deck on once it's done.

Congratulations on your truck.

Question on backup camera. Did it include an extension harness and camera you can mount in the elements? If so can you shoot a picture of the connector showing the pins? I need an option on my 3500 when I remove the tailgate and put the camper on to enable a backup camera.

Will do!

I am at work now and not driving it today (since it does not yet have the bed installed) but can take a photo of the camera connection this evening. It does include a long harness. I would like to do the same as you mention also, maybe mounting the camera on the headache rack of the flatbed?

New car smell!

Nice, love those 4500/5500 trucks! Must be towing one of those ghost trailers?

It currently has a ghost flatbed too!

Found a thread that had what I needed. Pickup uses 10 pin while chassis cab uses 6 pin. Connector replacement is needed on extension harness to use it with pickup.

FYI mopar sells a 30ft cable as you will probably need more length if you put it on the headache rack. P/N 68239372AA.

Thanks for the information!

Can't see it! "Full size image" would be nice.

Isn't simply clicking it an easier task than typing a complete sentence complaining about it every time?

Simply awesome looking truck brother! What a beast.

 

[gsbrockman]

Truck looks good......but would have looked better with the aluminum wheels.

I guess you have no Spence of humor.

But the FACT IS there are two options when posting a pic. Courtesy of choosing FULL SIZE is simply courteous.

 

[kthaxton]

So...you are complaning...

Damm nice Pickup. Enjoy!

I put an ARE cap on my 3500. It has a rear door so the tailgate comes off. I got the option for the rear camera so they must have connected it somewhere.
