    2004.5 Mileage Improvement?

    I have the same truck you have and I am getting the same fuel mileage. I have to admit I do not baby it. If I keep the rmps at 1800 or less I can all most get 17. I just don't want to drive that slow. I really do like the truck. It being a 3500, 4x4, QC, with a long bed, I really did not thinkl...

    auto versus 6 speed

    I had some concerns about getting the six speed because of the terrible traffic in and around Houston. I have to say I have been quite pleased. It has been great to tow with and the hydraulic clutch makes pushing the peddle very easy and smooth. The gears are spaced well and it minimizes...

    Why Zero Throttle?

    It does not matter if the speed is controlled by wire or cable. You should be able to operate at a safe speed for the conditions. My Dodge does not. When backing up with a light trailer my truck revs up from 1800 to 2000 rpm and will not settle down for about 15 feet or so. With a heavy trailer...

    Why Zero Throttle?

    What is the point of zero throttle? I have been driving standard shift for 40 years and have never had a problem not having it. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, tractors, dozers, and all sorts of equipment. The few times in all the years that it may have been a little easier you could count on one...

    1st week with the 600

    I have a 3500, 4x4, six speed, SRW, and LB. I have 1,100 miles now. The over head on the first tank said I was getting 12. 2 and then jumped to 14. 2 mpg with in 600 miles. I took the time to top off on the tank each refill. Hand calculated I got 16. 1 on my first check. That was mostly highway...

    04.5 3500 Order

    I ordered my 3500, 4x4, six speed 2-16, if it is delivered this Monday, 4-31, it will be 12 weeks. The truck is here in Houston on a rail car. I hope to have it some time next week. The waiting is the hard part, but it seems the only way to get what you want. Soon to be a Dodge truck owner...

    Time frame - from date of order to delivery?

    I ordered mine 2-16. Has still not went D-1 status. Dodge's customer relations in this ares is poor. I hope they are looking into improving in this area. Your order should be on the Insight web as soon as you have a von number. Could be a Dodge owner, Gary Brady

    how long after order for VON to show up on the Insight Network?

    I orderd mine on 2-16 and was given a von then. It has not shown up on Insight. Dodge has a lot of room for improvement in this area. They must have list that all of the trucks are on and you go D1 when your turn comes up. I would think that would be determined from the date and time of the...
