2014 nears- 2001 gets cleaned up for selling

[TimBrunett]

Attention: Joesph Donnelly: Thank you for your help. Its almost here.

The 2014 3500 I ordered in March is on a rail car on its way to the dealer and is expected to arrive April 18 to 21st​. It’s iffy about making May Madness due to the timing but we’ll see.
After driving a 2001 for so long I'm getting exited and looking forward to feeling a new transmission shifting more and better than the 47RE.
This is what I ordered. Thanks again.

I did the same thing only backwards.....I bought mine the first of this week and now have to sell my 2001. Going to spend this weekend cleaning out all the stuff in the cab, get a smog certificate. 14 years of driving and towing good times, a great ride.

I can tell you that you have no idea what you are in for when you take your first ride in the new one.......

Enjoy!

I saw yours and its beautiful. Made me think how much I want the new one. It's white too. I let me wife pick the color because she was so agreeable to me getting a new one. The least I could do and maybe a wise choice.
My weekend is ditto, getting the 01 washed and spiffed up to sell it. I hope a diesel guy buys it. I have a log book of all maintenance on it from the day I got it. Only another maintenance anal home mechanic will appreciate it. But having that log book has been helpful many times when mileage and dates were needed.

And yeah, I'm very much looking forward to that first ride!

Congratulations. Massive turning radius but worth it to have a real crew cab and a standard truck bed.

 

[MJWenrich]

Yes. That turning radius is a bit of an eye opener. First tow inside the property had me almost in a bind for not allowing enough room. Good thing I have 5 acres. If you get it soon that will give you enough time to learn how to operate all the switches before the event. I believe I am down to one switch that I don't know what it operates. And then I need to learn the U connect system. Keeps the old brain working so it's probably a good thing. Congrats and hope to see you at May Madness.

[JSoloman]

Beautiful rig. Take it from me, you won't be able to stop smiling.

 

[rscurtis]

If I were to buy new (not happening- my signature truck is still like new), that's the exact color I would choose.

 

[JMetzger]

I am like Wingate beautiful truck but I love my 02.

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

Beautiful truck! If you can free up the time, we would like to see it (and you!) at May Madness.

 

[TimBrunett]

Thanks all. I like everything about it and I’m smiling every time I drive it.
