No it is not (entirely) the same engine.
The HO has lower compression to allow more boost and different fueling/timing from that higher tune. Suspected to be different pistons.

No. Only the DRW Max Tow has larger calipers, pistons.
The HO and DRW share a 12" ring gear and 4" axle tubes, but the SRW is necked down to fit the 8 lug hubs.

I read that as well. What I read it was the axle housing is something like 4” as opposed to 3.75 and the rear end is a 12” as opposed to 11.5”
To be clear, only the DRW Max Tow has bigger brakes.

I know nothing about either of those companies and this isn’t something I’ll be doing myself. Simply just don’t have the time between work and two small kids

Chrome baby! Which model are those lights? They ain’t cheap…..Windows tinted and the Baja fog light swap was done before transport pick up.
From what I have read, the factory fogs turn on each side with the turn signal for cornering if under 25MPH and the fogs are in OFF MODE, will those do the same?

Ziebart has the old style black asphaltic undercoat that they now call sound deadener and they also have a Krown/Fluid Film type of product that is not hailed as a sound deadener, instead it is just a rust proofing material. I would not say that Ziebart is bad, they have a product to fit the needs of the customer. They have also been in the game of fighting rust for decades longer than most others have existed. If you lived up here in the 60's and 70's and wanted a vehicle to last more than 5 or 6 years rust free... that black crap was the only way. It did buy time, it saved you years of rot free use. I do agree and have personally dealt with the issues with sub surface of product rust as the product eventually fails. And removal of the product in a home shop setting is extremely laborious and emotionally painful. But my 71 Chevelle likely still exists today due to the original owner having this black sludge applied. In the mid 80's I set out to remove it and paint the frame and it still lives in the painted condition today.

The invoice price on my original POC was $520 over FFP price. Which I put a deposit down to make sure the price didn’t go up once it was actually billed. With the second POC I was shown when it went to D1 it is under the FFP and about $1800 higher than what the EP price is now. So definitely happy.

Hey @OfficerDirtySanchez ....is it me or is the "trucks with full VIN" on the tracker growing faster than the list with build sheets and window stickers?....LOL... I think its great that many are taking interest in tracking and we ALL appreciate that you provide tracking for this forum.
Nice! Travel buddies. Here’s hoping our trucks catch one of the states 5 transport drivers eye and get on an early load.

Good article explaining what was done a couple of years ago. A few pages back, someone posted an article showing the differences between HO and SO. I thought it showed the HO going up to 19:1 compression. This may be how they got higher numbers in HP and torque. Does anyone know for certain if there was any other major changes to the engine/drivetrain?I found the attached article that outlines some of the HO differences

From what I have been able to gather sandi says there are only 5 truck drivers so it may take up to 3 weeks to go from the final rail yard to the dealership (im sure she told you this as well).
I think she is giving a safe buffer zone to keep our expectations in line. Most people getting delivery from mark dodge find their trucks get to the dealership in less that 14 days with most of them arriving in 7-10 days.
Personally I am hoping to hear from Mark dodge around Monday or Tuesday the 15th or 16th
Mine has been sitting on a rail car just outside the port at port allen for a couple days now. Hopefully it will get in today and get unloaded to get on a transport for Mark Dodge.
Mines still sitting on a truck. But just parts waiting to be built. Have a build date of tomorrow. But as the song goes, Tomorrow, Tomorrow never comes. Come on Vin 3C63RRHL0NG163053 hit the line. Become a truck for the first time!
So if this is true... Ram chat says that my truck has been released from the factory and was approved for shipping. The ship date was 11/7, but from the looks of it the truck might sit for 2 weeks before it gets a railcar. Merry Christmas to me!
