Just bought my new truck!!!

[hirschjn]

Just bought a new 03, 3500QC, Flame Red, SRW, 4X2 OH MAN!!!! what a truck can't wait to get the bed liner sprayed in and get the 5er hitch installed.



I have one question, the truck for some reason didn't come from the factory with the tow package, the owners manual indicated that the E-brake wiring for the trailer was already there, does anyone know if this is true I can't fine the plug by the E-brake pedal#ad

Maybe your just so excited you overlooked it I have not payed any attention to mine so I can't help you on this. Congratulations on that new truck.

The plug is tucked up pretty high. If I remember correctly mine was attached to a harness of some sort.

It is a light blue connector up by your ebrake. The truck should have an adapter to plug into it that is the same color. Congratulations on your new truck... Oo.



I just recently bought mine and love it so much that my bike is sitting the in the garage growing lonely.....

Thanks for the info, but now I need to find the other end toward the back of the truck. Does anyone know where I can find/or get a wiring print for this?

Re quotes on new trucks:



I bought my new 2500 Ram H/O, re 48,

4x4, swb, SLT quad cab back in May of this year.

Initially I went to the library and studied

the invoice on new trucks which shows what a

dealer of American made vehicles makes from

the invoice which amounts to this.



$309. 00 (a refund on interest for the

vehicle, figured from the departure

from the factory)

4% percent of the gross called "holdback"

money, some manufacturers pay 3 per

cent.

12% or very close to 12% mark up, I figured 11 % on mine.

To shorten the story I took $4400 dollars and

the $398 dollars of various fees, a total of

$4798 from the sticker price, then I got the

$2000 dollar rebate and bought the truck. A

total of $6798 off the sticker price. We had

been close to $3000 difference and I just

offered him my bottom price. He took it

after about 10 or 15 mins which means I could

have bought it cheaper. I left him with his

"hold out" money in the amount of about $1600

which is gracious aplenty for a dealer to make,

also I got 2 years of free lube and oil changes.

The truck listed for 40,650 dollars with the

options, fancy radio, wheel rims, big tires, etc.

If you order the truck try to get all of the mark

up and some of the "hold back" money if you can,

after all he has no money in the vehicle at that

stage. Chev's mark up on the same equipped

truck is about $6000 and Ford is about $5300.

The more options that you have the more the

markup and "hold back" money he has. Also I

had them fill it up like GM does.

Why don't you pull up Kelley Blue Book and

build your truck then you will see what the

invoice price is as opposed to the suggest

retail price. (on your computer)
