2022 Ram HD Builds and orders - Post and discuss your TRUCK order here! ** NEW USERS READ POST #1 **

I priced one at one time and it was a little less than the one I just bought. I just don't like those V8 diesels, of course unless it's one of those big CAT's like maybe a 3408 V8. Don't care for the 3208 V8 CAT's either.

The way she said it, her sister was looking for a dually. She never said Ford was a priority, so I proposed the option of these dealers we have used. I’m sure Ford has dealers like MD across the country too, Ford is just not my cup of tea.

wonder what the “normal” rate of price increases usually is…couple times over 6-8 months? base price went up $800ish mid December and now a similar increase a month later….ouch
Prices Going UP in these times is not going at any "Normal" rate. Raw Materials UP, Parts UP, Labor UP, Shipping UP, Demand greater than Supply.

7% Inflation on an $80k truck = $5600.
 
There's nothing I can think of in any vehicles manual on how to get unstuck in the desert or mountains. Also you can just save it as a PDF on any device.
Maybe I just dont sweat the small stuff
I think original poster was referring to being in need of a Manual in a location without ability to download or view an electronic manual. Those places still exist both without Internet (unless you have $atellite receiver) and without Cell Service - I can identify such areas in rural Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Illinois. But regardless of the connectivity issue, you should receive 2 manuals with each truck (1 inch thick Truck and much thinner Radio Manual) in console or glovebox or handed to you by dealer with a pouch to put them in.
 
For those that have older orders still sitting out there, how often do you pester your salesperson? I’m coming up on my 7 month orderversary and I have a rapid email exchange with him once a month currently and it feels like that annoys him.

I'd ask him if his commission that he will receive is an annoyance also. Sorry, don't care when a salesman cops an attitude with me.
 
How long does it take for FCA/Stellantis to "Accept" an order after the dealer places it?
My dealer gave me a poc with a von at the top , invoice,, msrp,ffp and ep at the bottom,within mins of ordering..took one day for the vin...I assume that means it was accepted.
 
Yup and if you have purchased everything to make it power fold and power convex for the $100 they took off package im over $2K deep putting it on my truck.
What sucks is the new door panel for the power convex is $600, Door switch $120, Power Convex switch $25, and then the power folding/convex mirrors..... haven't even got into see if door modules are going to mate up. But I need the power folding because I cannot get in and out of my garage without folding mirrors in/out and im not going to do that on a $80K truck. I did it every day for 11 years with my 2009 3500...

Ask him if he has a problem with the frequency of your inquiries about your truck order and then tell him to keep in mind the Chrysler Survey that you will get concerning him before he answers. That will change his tune. I mentioned survey to my salesman when I requested an weekly update and I started getting updates twice a week instead of once a week.

Weeks later after talking to my salesman, he told me that if a salesman where he works gets a bad survey. There is no reprimand, they get canned.

Oh, I like that angle.

8 Delmonico unicorns built so far being 2500 Limited Mega Hemi Night Edition - there are more that are Black, much less that are Silver, White, or Blue. I like the Delmonico then Blue then Black.

Not that popular, but may someday be desirable....I guess....maybe.

My 2014 Limited 3500 DRW was a Delmonico Red and then my 2016 Limited SRW was also that color. I thought they looked beautiful in the sun but in the shade they looked burgundy which is a color I'm not a fan of. I bought the second truck the same color because it was the lesser of the evils. Here are photos of both of them on the day of delivery to the dealer. The last two photos are of the same truck under different lighting conditions. Both of them were HO versions.IMG_0304.2.JPGIMG_2278.JPGIMG_2276.JPG

You left off labor for the dealer reprogramming modules. I would say 1.5 to two hours labor since it's something they don't do every day. Labor rate $100 to $150 an hour maybe more depending on your location in the world.

Yes sir .... However my dealer is doing the EEPROM flash for free since they could not get me the mirrors from the factory. They're also giving me a credit for the factory mirrors.
 
Oh and FWIW. Ram Connect is free for 3 months then subscription is needed. Personally I think that’s petty for Stellantis to do. Even BMW which does the same stuff on their app is free. Their traffic subscription is also free. And my Beemer was $58k.
I think greed sucks and expect more from Ram then I would from BMW.
Like I have stated in this thread many posts ago. Ram doesn’t care. They should.
3 months now. It was for 12 months then you had to pay. It's a nice feature but not worth what they want you to pay for it.
