I got lucky you could still order anything you wanted when I got mine. The dealers in my area could care less if they sold something or not so I bought both Rams from Mark Dodge. If they sold 5500 trucks I'd buy one from them too, couldn't have been a better experience.

I figured it would be super hard to find one used some place esp since you d they might use more fuel but long as they're moving they're m can save a large chunk of money ordering new from a few dealers. I have two F-550 gas trucks too for work and same thing I don't want them sitting at the...

I have a limited DRW and it's been great .. .. I hauled a 14k load back across 4 states and it did fine. In the mountains it was getting like 6 but when i got back to level/ small hills it was getting 9. I had to order mine and I think I saw very few setup...

My Ford has a 32gal and it's about 275-300 mi to a tank In the C&C Ram truck I built online you can get 75 gal lol My only interior gripe in the Ford vs Ram is no telescoping wheel. I'm tall and it's not the end of the world but it could be better for sure. Steering feel in the Ram is too...

Not bad ... If I use cat it's about 5-7 days normal unless I expedite it then it's next day but that's more expensive and kind of set it up before hand. Blackstone is good, just takes longer.

I like the Ram interior better for sure. MY 6.4 truck gets about 14-16 mpg empty depending on speed. Towing my Jeep it was about 10-11 mpg. With the 52g tank it's not bad IMO My 7.3 (550) isn't comparable it's about 19k lbs-20k lbs depending on what's in the bed but it get's 9-10 mpg

Cummins is kind of like that I've ran into similar on off highway engines. It's like they go out of their way to make it as difficult as possible to give good service.

Yeah but that's a week or so to get back at least. It's usually 2 weeks ish ... If it was getting sampled at oil changes it would have already shown up.

What a bunch of idiots, they could have cut a filter open in 15 mins and seen it was full of bearing material and went from there. That's like checking everything but the fuses first when something electrical doesn't work. Anymore with about all companies it seems like getting anything truly...

I have both and 100% agree I wish I could get the Ford powertrain in the Ram truck

Last one I bought I emailed like 15 dealers and finally got a deal but it wasted a ton of time

Who has bought a 5500 and got a 11-12k off sticker ? I contacted MDCJ where I bought my other two vehicles and she said they weren't certified to sell the 5500's What dealer did you use ? Looking for no farther west than MDCJ, I didn't want to send a pile of emails to find a good one or get...

They must not be around me then. The company I use to work for used a bunch of different places within 100 mi, all the wheels on the trucks were beat all to hell after the first set of tires were changed. With motorcycle tires I've changed hundreds and can do it without damaging anything. Most...

Yeah it would cost 10k extra to have the bed fixed/built correctly:rolleyes: For 25k you can buy an actual work body that is bomb proof
