Greetings

[yellowlegs40]

Greetings Gentlemen from the cold North of Canada, Edmonton to be exact. Been driving a Dodge Ram 2500 diesel since 2005 and just upgraded to the new 3500 HD with the Ho diesel and the HD tranny. Driving me crazy because I want to try it pulling but have not been able due to winter. Guess I will just have to be patient.

Congratulations and welcome from 80 miles or so west of you. What winter... do you mean that 40 below crap coming? Which dealer did you get it from and how did that go?

 

[yellowlegs40]

80 miles West, I am thinking you are near Onaway? I purchased my Ram from Legal. Small dealership but I recommend them. They have been great to me and very good to deal with.

A little more west , south of Mayerthorpe. Small town dealerships have their advantages. The big city dealerships give me a instant headache. Are you driving your truck in this deep freeze ?

 

[yellowlegs40]

No, I am close enough to work that I walk. I really only use it when I need to head to the fishing hole and the wife has the vw. We bought it to pull our 5th wheel and for whenever we need a truck. Always nice to have a truck around. We first went to St. Albert Dodge to talk to them and I ended up walking out. Small town shops I find are much better to deal with. Legal is about 20 min. away but I will be making the drive to there to get oil changes and anything else. Do you know how to put that #$^%^&^& winter front on? I found some directions on the internet from Dodge but they are horrible, look like they were written in China. Cant figure them out!

What do you have for temps there tonight? We are already at -30

 

[Great White North Eh]

-31.2 now . The dealer in Barrhead had it on when I picked it up. Had to cut a hole in it for the camera.

Looks like a trip when it warms up then.

Welcome! I know that place (Legal) and have spent time bending an elbow at the hotel (Kilroys) just up the street from the dealer. That was before they shut her down...

I know, it's kind of a PITA. Try this:

Winter Front Grille Cover - Installed

Mercury plummeted a few a few days ago and the forecast is for continued double-digit (centigrade) freezing temperatures. Time to install that winter front that came with the truck. It was not accompanied by any instructions so I pinged the maker (Cover King) and they were kind enough to send me...
