Picking up the new truck tomorrow - check list needed

[AMink]

Dang, I wish Dodge would build a 4500 pickup bed! They'd sell a ton of them to the 5er crowd! Once again, Dodge is behind the 8 ball and Ford is going to sell a ton of 450's. BTW, nice truck!

I am driving a 2008 for heavy towing and just love it. Went from the 6 speed stick to an automatic and like it for towing. Had two of the 6 speed sticks and found them to be a great transmission for heavy loads. They do take a little getting used to. Enjoy the new truck and I am sure it will make an excellent work truck.

I picked up my 08 SLT 3500, auto last night and got 7 miles down the road and the check engine light came on. Turned around and went back. They said the DRL's where causing it because in Canada, the computer does not recognize the O2 sensors. I headed home, again ( 70 miles away ), 18 miles down the road, it came back on . So I will be making the trip back this morning#@$%!. Apparently they do not pollute the environment in Canada. Star told the service manager that you cannot have the DRLs in 08. Anybody have them turned on in their 08's??

Actually, we all just drive around with the check engine light on. :-laf

What?! Did someone at the dealer actually say that?

I just wish they would still make that small vent window.

I've only owned one vehicle that had one of these, but I loved it. I definitely miss them too.
