06 Truck comes to dealer May 3 as of now?

[KennethS]

That could change at anytime I guess. Estamate Is a word Is just a guess I would say which don't mean much I have found. The truck Is In Buffalo, NY. It came by rail and truck from Mexico. No boat, so this truck won't be water loged. It was ordered Feb. 22. That almost 10 weeks lacking 1 day. I held up pretty good. The salesman said 5 weeks. I said 8 weeks and we both were wrong as usual I guess. So I would say 10 to 12 weeks for a order with no problems.

Ordered mine 03-22-06 was built 04-20-06. Will see how long it takes to ship it.

You guys are lucky. Mine took 18 weeks. picked it up march 5th, March 10th I received a coupon from Dodge for an additional $1000. 00 off. It said "not valid for sales before mailer was received". I called dodge (my rural mail takes an extra week to get delivered some times). They review my case and said "DENIED, truck was purchased before coupon was valid. "



Oh well

Ask the dealer WHY. There must be a problem Is dealer on finance hold, short do to parts. There got to be a reason on your truck.

The reason why they said was they (dodge)will only build so many units a month. in my case a mega 3500 4x4. once that month is full you get bumped back to the next. so the dealer says

06 Mega Cab

Ordered 06 Mega Cab on 03-21 just found out it is at the dealer. Should pick it up this week. After reading all the posts on poor A/C in the 05 and 06 trucks I am nervous to say the least. I can't see driving all day on vacation in 90-100 degree heat with poor A/C. A normal summer day around here is in the 100's. Don't have much use for a hot truck.

 

[Task125]

Don't sweat it,no pun intended. looking at this site all the time makes you paranoid. I am sure it will be fine and I hope when mine gets here it will be too.

congrats and good luck with it.

I guess a lot more of the negatives do show up on forums like this. I have been looking forward to a couple of weeks vacation towing my 27 foot travel trailer.



Have never had a diesel truck before. Sure got tired of running high RPMs in the Ford gasser trying to get over some of the mountains in Colorado and Utah this past two years. Any hill or even a strong headwind would mean a down shift and less than a 7 MPG average. I just hate running at 4000 RPMs while getting passed by just about everything on the road.



Can't wait to hook up the trailer and see how the new truck will pull. From everything I have read it should make those long grades a lot more enjoyable.

June 6 and still no truck :{
