My newly arrived 2007 Ram 2500
Good morning everyone. I finally took delivery of my new Ram 2500 last night. It's a real beauty, and it's the first new car I have ever bought for myself. It's also my first Dodge and my first diesel, although I've driven dieselbuses and trucksduring my younger years. My first impression is that the engine is very quiet and smooth. And torquey! The exhaust brake is cool, with a switch on the dash to turn it on/off. The Getrag G56 shifts very smoothly, and the clutch feels about right. When I picked it up it probably had about two gallons of fuel in the tank, so I topped it off with ULSD at my local BP station. The price was $2.899/gallon, 30 cents less thanthemidgrade gasmy wife uses in her BMW.
I willl try to post some photos soon. For now I am enjoying my new Ram.

I didn't know the 07's had an engine brake. I suppose thats what happens when I don't keep up with things!

A friend of mine showed up last saturday at a partyI was at with a shiney new CTD. It sounded really quiet. He told me he was really happy with it and that he was really happy with the exhaust brake. I said "what" ?? He told me they come with exhaust brakes now. I was shocked. I didn't get a chance to look under the hood, but the truck sure looked nice. Sucker even had cab lights.
Best of luck with your new ride hil !!
