Thats a good lookin truck. Mine is the same color, just a quad cab and no leather. When I bought mine I didn't really like the megacab, but its really starting to grow on me. What mods are you plannin to go with?

nice truck!!!

what breakin period are you talking about? you have about 500 miles you need to put on it, then your good to go. just dont use synthetic oil for about 30k miles. i bought mine with 13.5k on it and have been moding it from the start. it's an addiction, i'm seeking help [sm=alcoholic.gif]

WOW
That looks great, the mega cab is MEGA for sure,.

I also am wondering about the "break in period " that you mentioned.
I will picking up my 2007 3500 CTD with the 48RE next Wednesday and plan on picking up our new Toy Hauler on the Friday, it is about 350 or so miles away and weighs 11500lbs, so if there is a break in required I would realy like to know before I put that kinda weight behind it.

They want you to wait for 500 miles before you tow to let the gears in the rear end seat. After that drive it with a full load for as long and far as you can as it's a great way to seat in the rings.

Thank you DBLR
That is what I thought it was also, and according to my plans I will be in that range more or less before hooking up the the trailer, I will also be taking secondary roads there and back , so the speed will not be consitant , kinda of like a nice country drive sight seeing there and back.

Thanks agian

Beautiful truck. They are a hunk of steel, that's for sure.....LOL. I LOVE that color. I hope you have a lot of good years with it.

I'll die behind the wheel in my Ram.....lol.

I keep seeing these Dodge "Sprintsters" runnin' around on trucks like DHL, Fed-Ex. Looks like John Merrick, the "Elephant Van"



(Elephant Man,,,, get it?.lol)


Actually..... the more I think about it, the best way to describe the way the van looks is to show you a pic.


Here you go. The guys name is Mayfair. Michael Jackson tried to buy his bone(r).

Thanks everybody! The dealer said to wait 500 miles before towing and 5000 miles before swapping to bigger wheels and adding mods. He said people who mod before 5000 miles always have problems and get less gas mileage than people who wait until after the 5k mile mark. I thought 5k miles was a little long myself, but decided to play it safe. Besides, that gives me time to plan the mods.

I want to throw some wheels and tires on the thing first, because the current stockers are WAY too small looking in my opinion. Then something like the Banks 6-Gun, necessary tranny upgrades, and intake/exhaust. Also want to do some mild fender flares, inner fenders, and I already have billet door and tailgate handles sitting in the garage. Also thinking about a mild lift kit and of course if I do that, then the billet drop hitch.
