Agree 100%. Total cost would have been more for me to use Mark Dodge because of my location. I just need to wait. My post was to make people aware it’s more than just hard dollars. Do what’s right for you in your specific scenario.

Amazing to see how different orders are processed and ultimately delivered between dealers. On extreme cases you can have a truck delivered little over 1 1/2 months and others 5 or 6 months all placed around same time. To say there isn’t a benefit to use a dealer who has a fast track record...

I highly doubt that. Creates a failure point and possible fuel spill to atmosphere. We shall see.

If the supply and discharge are at the bottom, which I believe is the case, it would require a whole new housing, or a blead screw on top which is a band-aid IMO. Software update is also a band-aid. Just a poorly thought out design. I can't believe this was a Cummins engineer. Me thinks -...

Yes. That is why I said maybe pull fuse instead of battery. Both do the same function.

Nice. Wonder if removing the fuel pump fuse(s) would be better move as it doesn't reset everything pulling battery terminals. Easier too. Then again - I think pulling power away from pumps is to prevent inadvertently pumping fuel into fuel canister while open or losing prime from pump to...

It said may 2nd after built and then changed to TBD after it shipped. I think dealer is saying may also since it once said may 2 but march seems more realistic. Anything is possible I guess.

I uploaded a picture of my ram tracker and what the dealer sent me to ChatGPT for fun. Apparently it’s going by train not boat and should be here by the end of February. Dealer says not until May. Who will be correct ? Place your bets. Lol

I say the same thing about owning a plane. The reality is, I can’t afford the purchase or the maintenance and that has nothing to do with whether it’s objectively expensive. Expense is relative to your budget. So when people say something is “too expensive,” what they usually mean is they...

The 6.4 is a great engine, but from a technology standpoint it’s starting to feel outdated compared to the rest of the industry. The cam-in-block (OHV) design is old-school, and while it works well, modern engines with overhead cams allow for independent control of intake and exhaust timing...

Just spoke to my dealer. He still doesn't expect it for another 2 months even though its sitting in a port in Mexico waiting for transport. So - adjusting my expectation (and when to sell my current truck).

It appears the truck is traveling via boat up east coast. However, dealer said it can travel via boat or train but considering it went south a nice distance to the port I am guessing boat. Also with a TBD delivery date my guess its waiting in a lot for the next full boat to Baltimore. At...

A large displacement 426 with turbos running low boost = perfect diesel alternative. Wound like to see intake and exhaust on separate sticks too. Take my money. Lol

NICE! Thanks for pics!!! Ordered same truck and built around same time as yours. It shipped and sitting down in Port of Altamira for the last 2 weeks or so.

Is the 7.2 confirmed for 27 or still tbd ?
