Coming back to the dark side!!!

[Fitter48093]

Well after three years of a Chevy Duramax, I order a new 2010 3500 dually tonight. I couldn't be happier to return to the Dodge/Cummins combo. I've had my eye on them since they were released and after driving one I couldn't resist. I ordered a 4x4 Crew Cab Laramie with everything but a moon roof. Dealers telling me 8 to 10 weeks on the wait so it's time to pick out some nice extras and wait. I get the employee price So I saved almost 10 grand off sticker price and took the 3. 9% for 72 months that just came out. :-laf

Coming back to the dark side????? I think you got that backwards. Your coming back from the dark side. Have fun with that new truck when you get it.

You must of gotten tired of Changing Diper's on your Diper Max :-laf:-laf:-laf:-lafWelcome back

 

[Grizzly]

Smart move, congratulations. What problems did you have with the Dumbmax?

 

[Fitter48093]

Well my first dmax was a '05 that was lemon lawed due to missing at speed and rough idle. Couldn't get a full buy back so took a replacement truck. Replacement truck threw a rod while driving with the gm rep and lawyers. It was priceless. So then they let me order a '07 with the new and improved LBZ duramax. Truck wasn't bad but a lot of oil leaks, trans cooler leaks, always like to throw a CEL for egr and turbo speed, low on pulling power with loaded gvw. Just got old after awhile. it was time to come back home this will be my 5th Cummins powered Dodge, but first 6. 7 so I hope I made the right choice.

Thought the DRW's are not due out for another 2-3 months ? Be sure to post pics when you do get it !

I have a feeling with the Urea coming, we'll get a lot of converts.

Dealer where I just bought my SRW has a DRW listed on their website. It might still be in transit, but I am taking mine back Saturday for Line-X and will get a couple pics of the DRW if it is on the lot.

Good point! When will Cummins engines be required to use UREA?

 

[CBlack]

Not sure. The C&C will use it starting this year, but Cummins is quiet about when they will start using it in our trucks.

I think the next set of emissions laws start in 2016, so I would think a little before then, much as the 6. 7 came out in 07 before the law being implemented in 2010.

I don't believe there are any more emission reduction in the pike. They are at virtually zero now. Urea will improve fuel economy through advanced timing and reduced EGR.

I live south of Toledo, I haven't seen any deals like that Where did you come across something like that? I am ready to order one...

 

[Fitter48093]

Are you or do you know an employee? This was standered ep price plus tax. Shouldn't be any differant. I deal with the dealer in Richmand MI about 30 miles north of Detroit. Ask for Brian Noteboom tell him Dave said to call. He will hook you up.

 

[itsbigdog2u]

Thanks for the info. I am not a employee but I will call Brian and see what he can do.



Thanks again.

I dont care who you are, thats freakin HILARIOUS right there!! Would have loved to be there when that happened!



I also dont think theres any new emissions standards on the horizon, so hopefully Dodge/Cummins can stay away from urea on the pickups. Not like aftermarket tuning wont get rid of it... but still

I thought I read new emission standards 2013. (Live Chat with the Enigneers)

The 6. 7 made 2007 and 2010 emission standards.
