Default Sadly saying goodbye to my 2003 Ram 3500

Well the time has come to say goodbye to my 2003 HORam 3500
and its killing me!! I have to go with the 2008 F450 for legal reasons (Um 1 is over hauling by 10,000 pounds)

I have been towng 26000 pounds with it and I cant begin to tell you how many heads
I have turned. If you know the 2003 HOit was only allowed to be sold in a few states due to its emmisions. This is a towing beast!! That I am going to miss!!

Appalachian mountains?? who cares!! lol get those Fords out of my way willya!! (Not the new ones I know but in 20034,5,6 we spanked Ford big time!!) I used to get the Big Rig guys calling me on my CB sayng "Hey NEw Hampshire guy... are you kidding me whats under that hood!!"

OK I am done ranting .... this is killing me

I will be putting it on Ebay so if anyone is intersted email me at steve@masthill.comand I will email you when its listed.

Quick specs

2003 High output automatic
Approx 60K Miles
Extended warranty
TripleDog Chip (Amazing!!!)
BD Exaust Brake (2400 installed)
S&B Air Filter
56 Gallons Fuel tank replacing the 32 it came with
Brand New Tires
Brand New Complete front end joints steerinbox you name it!
And!! Brand New Dodge Replacing as we speak Transmission!

This is a sad day!! I just wish Dodge had something to do th 25K towing range.

As great as this F450 seems and as Beautiful as it is AND IT IS!! I wish I was still aCummins Ram guy!

Steven

If you really are a Ram man, you should have at least stopped in a dealership or gotten online. The 4500 and 5500's have been available for some time. I was at my local dealership today with a female friend looking at a PT Cruiser with her and noticed a 2008 5500 Chassis Cab on the lot.

Guys Guys!!! 4500 & 5500 have max towing of 17,400 for the 4x4

I do wish I knew about sterling before I ordered my F450 though!! Thanks for the heads UP I am going to do more research on them

If I can get back to Cummins Ill do it!! If it means sell this F450 next year Ill do it!!
