Ordered my 2500 H.O.!!!!

[Stiffler]

I'm a fairly new user here so I'll start by saying Hello to everyone. I have been reading many posts here recently and wearing out the search button learning more and more about diesels. After reading and learning ( while consuming more than a few pots of coffee ) I decided to purchase my first diesel. I must say I am really excited!



I work for DC at the Newark Assy Plant building Durangos. One of the perks here is that I will be able to track my truck day by day during the build. I know at this time it is scheduled to be built in Mexico and due ( tenatively ) to ship from there 3/13.



Here's what I ordered:



2500 SLT QC SB 4x4 H. O. Auto

Atlantic Blue

Dark Slate Interior

Leather Seats ( includes Leather steering wheel, power drivers seat and folding flat rear storage )

Steering Wheel Mounted Audio Controls

Anti Spin-3. 73

Tonneau Cover

Fog Lamps

Snow Plow Prep Group

Auto Dim Rearview Mirror

Bodyside Molding

Power Adjustable Pedals

CD/Cassette Radio w/ Infinity Speakers

Hood Shield

265/70 Tires

Trailor Tow Group

Sliding Rear Window



My best friend placed an order at the same time, he has everything I have but opted for the Laramie Package in Patriot Blue. We have consecutive VIN #'s, how cool is that!



I'm going to have the rear inner fender liners installed before I leave the dealer. Dodge really cheaped out on us by not installing them as a standard item. I'm also ordering a Sport Grille to have on standby so I can replace the honeycomb grille immediately after I get the truck home.



All in all I'm excited about my decision and now face the wait for the call from the dealer telling me to come and take delivery. Now if we can just get those diesel fuel prices to drop back to a realistic level!

Congrats Stiffler



Mine is very similar to yours excect 3500 4x2, and Taupe leather. I skipped out on the Laramie too, not too wild about the grille and suede inserts.



Ordered mine Presidents' Day at 2:45pm PST



The consecutive VIN number is very cool, mine is . . . 3G802534 (yeah, I have it memorized already )



It's been sitting in D1 for about 10 days, scheduled ship of 3/06, wish it would hurry up & come!

Congratulations on that new truck stiffler. I do believe you will enjoy it and you found the right place to get all the info on the Dodge/Cummings. Stay tuned.



And your right they did cut us short on the wheel well liners. I think they ought to recall em all and put them in there. Have not got mine yet but I will.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm looking forward to getting my first diesel. My tentative ship date from Saltillo is 3/13. I can't wait.
