Just bought a new truck!!!

**WARLOCK** · 03-10-2005, 01:29 PM

I was going to buy used and ended up with a new one. I traded my 97 Dodge 2500 cummins in on a 2004 2500 Dodge 2500 crew cab Cummins. This thing is loaded. I get it in about 2 weeks. Now all I gotta do is get the plow and tool box off. I went to Ford and I found that they are having transmission troubles. I've got two friends who are mechanics at a Ford dealer and said they just got recalled again. I will admit that the 6.0 powerstroke has some balls. Maybe a little too much for the trans. I've always liked the Cummins and the new 600 Cummins is awesome. Later, Dave

Cool! My buddy has a new one, and you can't hear the engine running at highway speeds. BTW the early '04 Dodges had some problems with the auto tranny. I have an '01 Dually with the enhanced Cummins and a Power Puck. Even with the 6 spd std, I can out run my buddies Z71!

point taken, post deleted... although excuse me for being pessimestic about the beautiful great excellent wonderful trannys in the dodge trucks, that our work vehicles just loved to puke every 30k

for the record, I have plenty of nice things to say, but with an attitude like yours i can see why you wouldnt notice.

Congrats!!! Can't wait to see it (in Ottawa). Kurts right--no one guy should be able to buy so many toys in such a short time.

I'm working on my shopping list for this weekends fest at McCormick Place. That little trip is gonna cost me some dough.

The color is graphite (gray). I've heard about problems with all the brands. I decided on the Dodge because I've had such good luck with my 97. I also has a tranny problem with the 97. I got it fixed and drove it another 100,000 miles. They all have good points and bad, I just decided to with the best deal and CUMMINS. Later, Dave

Clyde, I'd say I'll meet you this weekend at McCormick place but, I've got a date with my wife in Cancun Saturday morning. I'll be gone for the week and then I'll pick up the new truck. Later, Dave

I forgot to say congrats on the truck. Sounds like you did like the color of my new Dodge.

Remember if you have any of the boy's from Canada in your back seat to either watch out for mail boxes, or keep the child safety lock on that is on the door so they will not be able to open it while you are still moving!

Went to the Chevy/Vette Fest. Wanted to pick up some odds and ends. Most of the parts that were there were for older Vettes. Otherwise, you had to sit down with one of the aftermarket sales people and put together an order list. I didn't have time for that. So for $15 in parking, $14 for admission, $6 in tolls and more for gas, I walked away with two catalogues I could have ordered for free over the net.

I picked up the new truck last night. I love this thing but I also hate to see the old one go. I had really good luck with it. This new Cummins is so much more quieter and more powerfull. The new coil over suspention is also such a better ride. It was pretty nice this morning, I got in the truck and turned on the heated seats and my ass was nice and warm. Ah, luxury! By the way boys, I saw more topless women in Cancun the first five minutes, than all last year at Blarneys. Later, Dave
