New member with a "600" on order

[6 2 Carl]

Just thought I would introduce myself to the forum. I have watched this forum for several years, but I never gotten a membership. However now that I have a 2004. 5 Dodge on order, I signed myself up.



A few weeks ago I ordered up a 2004. 5 3500 4x4 SLT Quad Cab SRW short box, exactly the way I wanted it. The details/options are as follows:



5. 9L HO Cummins 600

6-speed

SLT

Atlantic Blue Pearlcoat

Dark Slate Grey interior

Leather

Anti-Spin Diff (3. 73)

Light Group

Sport Appearance Group

Trailer Tow Group

Power Folding Trailer Mirrors

Protection Group

Rear Window Defrost



I as soon as I get my truck I plan on adding the following accessories:



larger tires

exhaust or remove the muffler

mudflaps

floormats

spray in box liner

fender flares

by-pass filter



A little later I want to add:



Stereo System

Alarm

Gauges

Bumper



I will eventually Bomb this truck, but I want to try to hold off as long as I can.



I have lots of questions relating to modifications, so I will be starting a few new topics in the next few weeks. Thanks in advance for all of the help this forum going to offer.

Welcome aboard! You cannot beat this place for info, everyone is extremely helpfull. Looking at your signature you have purchased a beauty. Good luck holding off the bombing bug. The hole is deep and the edges are slippery.

Welcome aboard 6 2 Carl.



Your are going to like your "600". I just got mine last week & it is great. I took it out & put 120 miles on it yesterday just driving around the countryside. It really feels solid going down the road & the brakes feel like they have a lot of stopping power. It is a great ride. Hope you don't have too long a wait.

That Atlantic Blue with the Sport Appearance package is very cool.

I also am a new member with a 600 on order, but am getting cold feet after reading all stuff about the 600. I test drove one the other day and wasn`t impressed at all with giddy up and go, I know it wasn`t broke in yet but still. When you boast the biggest and the badest you expect the best or close to it. The reports on the mpg the 48re aren`t very good either and that`s what I ordered. I also heard they don`t have enough paint south of the border. I guess their afraid of over painting and getting some runs in the paint. How about the kitty, everyone is taking them off and running straight thur. Can`t do that where I`m from, have to pass the E test. SITD. Hunter
