Just Ordered a New 2500 Long Bed 4X4

If it was ordered for you specifically your name will be on the window sticker, vs dealer stock.

Did you agree on a price when you ordered it? If so, that price should be honored even if the sticker price has gone up.

No price was not agreed upon. And my name isn't on the sticker. The truck is now posted on there web sight and the only one that doesn't have a price. Can't get upset about it since I paid nothing down.

Your name won’t be on the digital window sticker, only the printed one.

It’s common for custom orders to show up on the dealership websites and it’s often done by software that puts all inventory, and incoming inventory, up.

If a price wasn’t agreed upon hopefully it hasn’t gone up too much. From order to delivery my trucks MSRP went up almost $5K, but we had an agreed upon price so that didn’t change my cost.

Okay thanks for the info. I'm going to keep checking to see if it's taken down. Right now last month I'm think they moved a 2023 left over. Other then that nothing. They have 62 2500's and 30 3500's. And they are discounted anywhere from 5,000-10,000.

It's been a long day. My Salesman called me at 0930 this morning saying the truck came in last evening.. My wife and I hit the road at 1030 and got there around 1145ish (cross country 60MPH). And came home with it. Rear truck picture the one on the left was my trade in. Only the quick reference book came in the glove box. I'm thinking was reading somewhere in this forum a number you can call to get the rest of the manuals. If someone can provide that thanks...

Consider some Marathon Seat covers to protect that cloth. They fit like a glove. Warm in the winter and cool in the summer. They offer seatback and front utility pockets.

I bought a nice set of Wet Okole neoprene seat covers for my 2020 RAM EcoD, and I love them. I have a similar set in my 2007 F150. I've had them for about 12 years and they are still like new.

They really keep the seats clean and they add extra bolstering. Best of all they fit well and they are very comfortable to sit in, especially during the colder months.

Good looking truck! Like the Chrome and Blue! Enjoy it! I'm jealous. It's a shame that manuals are no longer in the glove boxes. You shouldn't have to call, the dealer should have done that before it arrived on the lot and handed them to you when you picked it up. Times sure have changed!

The manual thing reminds me of them no longer pushing TDR to owners.

Next time I'm at the dealers, I'm going to talk to the owner and see if they'll let me give some TDR pamphlets to them for new Cummins owners when they purchase a truck. Or at least keep some in one of them in one of the pamphlet holders for people to possibly check out as they browse around the floor.

I have a 2022 3500, and it came with a manual in the glove box. But I much prefer to go online to look at the manual as I can enter keywords and search the manual for them. The paper manual is now so thick it has become very difficult to find things in there.

Plus they are also easier to update online.

But this can also lead to confusion.

Thanks all TDR members for your kind words and seat cover suggestions. Last night I ordered front and rear OEM heavy duty splash guards and the struct damper for soft open tailgate. This morning I went over to my hitch guy to get an appointment for the B&W turnover ball gooseneck hitch install. Next thing I'll be working on is installing the under tailgate light that is found on 3500's. I had it on the 2018 and spliced into the license plate left light. Not thinking this one will be that easy. But I did find a 2 wire pin plugged into a dead stop in that area. I saved the plug end off the one I had on the 18 but it will not plug in. Not really wanting to buy another one for this application. I'll figure something out. Will entertain any and all suggestions Thanks...
You all have a great day
Craig

What is the under tail gate light?

What is the under tail gate light?

It is the 3 little running lights that come on the 3500's DRW's.

 

[C M McCormick]

@bcbender here it is on my 18.

 

[bcbender]

Oh OK,.. I understand now.

This looks so much better than on the early Gen 3's when they were randomly stuck in the middle of the tailgate!

Yesterday I worked on my 3 lights under the tailgate. I went with the newer style LED since the rear lights are that type. When I had my B&W gooseneck turnover ball install I went with a extra 7 pin located in bed right hand side. The jumper also came with a 4 pin. That is where I got my power from for the 3 light. I cut the 4 pint connector off and and used the white wire for ground and brown for running (park) lights. Today I

will be working on front OEM splash guard install and reinstalling my front Centramatic.
