    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I'll apologize ahead of time, and its been awhile since I posted on this site, since I traded my 2019 for a 1500, but why can't you build or find any 2025 HD trucks? Now that we'er in December I would think you could at least build one by now. I have a thought about going to a 2500, but I don't...

    MOPAR - MAXCARE - Zeigler - Extended Warranty Merged Mega Thread

    In Las Vegas I negotiated in free Max Care, but they came back to a 5/60 extended warranty, but it was free.

    MOPAR - MAXCARE - Zeigler - Extended Warranty Merged Mega Thread

    I Escaped from Comifornia, it’s anything but business friendly.

    MOPAR - MAXCARE - Zeigler - Extended Warranty Merged Mega Thread

    That’s why I escaped Comifornia in 2017, it’s likely an insurance regulation that is effecting the extended warranty. I don’t know the law, but Comifornia always comes up with ridiculous laws that affect your quality of life. I wouldn’t try to skirt the law, just pay the cheapest you can find...

    Ram 2500 diesel with no engine brake?

    As I was posting, it was done in early 2023

    Ram 2500 diesel with no engine brake?

    I begged my dealer for months, and hearing of others (a few) getting theirs in late 2022, was told they still hadn’t released it, even the ability to order the pump. So lucky you, you were one of the early owners, I think I remember you posting it. I had several long trips with my truck due to...

    Ram 2500 diesel with no engine brake?

    Not all recalls have been performed, the 2019’s had to wait until early 23, I know because I was one of them. After the recall was issued, I had to drive at 22K GCW from Las Vegas to Nashville and return empty, still no word on 2019’s recall approval, then back to Nashville at 15K GCW to...

    Ram 2500 diesel with no engine brake?

    The 2019 and 2020 CTD’s were plagued with the CP4.2 failures, so it’s possible it could have failed. That test drive might have saved you future head aches. If it were me I’d pass on that truck. But if they were to sweeten the pot with a big discount and an included extended warranty, it might...

    Ram 2500 diesel with no engine brake?

    Only the early C&C 6.7 had the EB as an option, after Jan 1 2007 the EB was standard and is still standard equipment.

    I vote you keep the original extended warranty, it’s already in place, I wouldn’t risk it, they do go by VIN, so they’ll know the history, besides the savings might not be worth it.

    def fluid

    Northern Tool should have a high turn over for DEF, no mater the brand, more likely the date was not that old. You’re not the first of that phenomenon, as far as the dealer goes. They are looking for profit where they can find it. I had my 3500 serviced by the dealer over the 30K miles I owned...

    Need a recommendation on Transfer Case fluid

    Sorta glad I had OE oil, my dads property has a steep gravel drive way, so I had it in 4 wheel auto, when I got to Fresno 50 mile drive, I saw the 4WD auto lit up on my dash. :oops:

    Need a recommendation on Transfer Case fluid

    Yes good point, but if the dealers see red, they could claim wrong fluid, when under warranty.

    Need a recommendation on Transfer Case fluid

    Thanks for the info, I purchased the Mopar OE fluid at a ridiculous price for my first change. It’s not even close to a ATF, unless they didn’t add a dye to it. I bought Redline MT-LV that crosses over to it per part number, but it has a slight red tint to it. I don’t think I’ll put any red or...
