HO/48RE and snow plow package

[rmcnamee]

Hello all,

I went to the dealer the other day, reviewed the build sheet on the truck they located in NY State for me and saw that the truck has 4. 10 gears. When I had the dealer start looking for the truck, I said that I wanted the 3. 73s and not the 4. 10s because I don't tow all that much and don't need them. When I pointed out the 4. 10 gears to the salesman, he responded by saying that you can't get the 3. 73s with the HO, 48RE and the snow plow prep package. Is this true? If it is true then fine, I guess I'll have to live with it, but I want to know for sure.



Thanks

Ryan

I can't help myself on this one, sorry I am not laughing at you just at the tricks salesmen use to make a sale. I am driving the higher geared automatic, just what you want, and yes the salesman is lying to you. I guess thats not nice to say but it is honest.

PS

After leaving the above post I noticed that you requested the snow plow prep group. I don't have that on my truck and maybe it does make a difference in the gearing. But, I don't think so. Sorry if I am wrong.

If you go to the Dodge website and use the "build it" feature it should tell you what gears you can have or not.



Good luck.

Better question your salesman again, as we just picked up my wifes HO/48RE with snowplow and 3. 73 combo last week . It's the quad cab shortbox.

Thanks all,

I went to www.dodge.com and built a truck with the HO/48RE, plow prep and 3. 73s. Using the dealer locater/inventory option on their site, I also found a 2500 and a 3500, both are Crew Cabs with the HO/48RE, plow prep and 3. 73s, so obviously you can get it the way I wanted it. I guess I'll be taking a trip to the dealer today to straighten this mess out.



Thanks
