Bought a new '06

[DPelletier]

Hello to those that remember me. I've been away from the site for awhile.

Just thought I'd post that I purchased another Ram yesterday. It's a 3500 SRW QC 4x4 6 speed ST in Patriot Blue.

I'll keep you updated on how this truck works out. My '03 has had the following repairs since new;



- cracked marker light

- TSB replacement of ps hose

- ball joints replaced under warranty



The '04. 5 has had nothing but routine maintenance.



Pretty happy with the trucks so far. One down and two Fords and a GM to go.



Cheers,

Dave

It's good to see you back!



Congratulations on the new rig Dave.

Congrats on your purchase. How do you compare the fords to the dodges and have you considered the duraflats? My company purchased a GMC 3500 R/C with an 11 foot service bed with the allison trans and I think 0 to 60 is awesome but gutless when cruising, unfortunately I could not convince him on the ram and he is a ford man

Thanks RankRam



RVTRKN,

I drove the new Fords and frankly I just didn't want one. I don't mind the styling and I think the rims and bumpers are nicer, but the interior did nothing for me and the engine was definitely not in the same league as the Cummins; no low end grunt at all.

I still have a GMC K2500 diesel and although it's not a DM, I have spent so much money on that truck in the last couple of years that I wouldn't buy a GM just on general principle. Gotta wait until the memory of the two engine top end rebuilds, the flywheel explosion, the paint adhesion issue and the rest fade a bit before I'll consider going with the General again.



Cheers,

Dave

I sure hope that doesn't happen to my work truck (GMC) I would lose lots of $ while it is in the shop. My GMC 2500 van gasser before the duraflat was a POS, still don't know why he bought it
