It!s here!!! I went and gave it a quick once over before work, it had just came off the truck and need to be cleaned up still.







The paint guy will drop by today to give me a quote on painting the bumpers, headlight filler panels, and grill to get rid of the chrome.

That is a shitload of orange truck. Should look even better when you get rid of the chrome.

So when are you bagging it?

there really isn't gently caress all else you can really do to it. With the cost of diesel repairs and the cummins penchant for dropping valves early in it's life, you really need to keep the drivetrain warranty. Once you get past the first 50 thousand, it should be smooth sailing for the next 300 or so, assuming you've got the aisin.

I would definitely get some mudflaps or running boards on the front to keep the paint on your dually fenders. Maybe even some 3m film on the lower body line of the dually fender.

Yeah my line of thought as well, and I am probably going to pick up the 5 year 100k extended warranty also to match the drivetrain. And yes Aisin Trans and it has some clear bra stuff on the back fenders already. But I'm on the lookout for some non bro flaps and such for it. I figure after the warranty expires I'll go hog wild and bag it and stuff. But for now I just want a nice reliable tow vehicle and poo poo weather commuter during monsoon season.

big truck!


I love it, it is the first vehicle I feel normal sized in. And I haven't really got on it yet but once it gets out of first it scoots pretty good. A lot quicker that I would think 9000lbs would move.

I bet a turbo diesel dually bright orange Ram gets more looks than an orange Lambo. I've never wanted a truck like that until I saw that pic from behind the steering wheel. That would be a hoot to drive. (and park)

Wait... is that a for real, unloaded weight? That sounds much higher than what it should be. Edit: google says the range for a 3500 is from 6k to 7k pounds... did you sneak a Miata into the bed?

Megacab, drw, 9 speakers stereo and sunroof. Curb weigh for mine based on VIN says 8200lbs plus my big rear end and 30gal of diesel and like 6gal of def would be right around 9000lbs

Could be wrong but it looks like the giant stalk on the right with the +- for gear shifting manually.

drat thats heavy as hell. My 86 GMC dump truck only weighs 7640lbs.

Yea the interiors on the new Rams are so nice. My buddy has a 14 and I love the blue lights on the buttons and stuff at night. His is a half ton with the Hemi and it really hauls rear end. 16.5 aint too bad. My 97 with the V6 and speed only gets 15 around town and 19 on the highway and I drove pretty slow and easy.
