Default new diesel guy

hello all


some of you Ive seen over in the 2nd gen forum. But I sold my 98 lifted gasser and got a 04 qd cab cummins.

Ive wanted a deisel for the longest time and had given up on being able to afford one until I caught this one just being delivered to the dealership. THey gave me $6k form my 98 so I couldnt pass it up.

Im very happy with it and love the 19-22 mpg.

I'll be reading alot before I ask questions so I'll be a lurker for a while.

see ya

Bill

tonight I planned on taking some pictures.

I have tons of mods I want to do to it but I made the dealer extend the bumper to bumper warranty for me for no charge. So basically I have 7yrs 70K bumper to bumper. The truck will be under warranty for as long as I have a payment on it.
I'd hate to do a mod that would negate my warranty.

specs

2004 cummins with 23k
navigation, mall terrains, 4:10 gears ect ect

the dealer didnt even have the sticker on it yet. they mis quoted and said it was for sale for $24,999 because it had some scratches and the inside of the tail gate was dented.

I told him if its for that price get me a plate and I'll drive it and we'll talk numbers.
they gave me $6k for my truck and I got 4 new tires, got them to pay half of a 4yr 70k bumper to bumper warranty and some bed rails.


I LOVE IT!!

I told them if they do it I'll sign papers right then and there. Wehn they gave the run around I stood up and I told them to call me when they get something else like this.

Then they some how came up with the numbers I wanted

no the factory warranty is 7yr 70k on the drive terrain. motor, tranny, differentials.

I got the 5,000 point coverage for 7yr 70k. the original warranty is 3yr 36k. I got it extended for 4 more years and 35k more.
and the lube for life.
