Did you order the High Output Cummins? If so, it sounds like you might be the first on this board to try that baby out! I heard that not only does it have a different head, but a much larger turbo housing. Sorry, I can't help you about the delays. -ddd |

Yo ddd, I did not order the HO Cummins. I went with the standard ETC with the Auto so it should no be much of a delay. We'll see. Thanks, |

Dave, I would like to start hitting some of those places but I need the camper first, I will be moving to the Ventura area in April for a two maybe three years, hopefully it will be my last job for my first retirement. We used to do that every summer when we were kids, mostly Canada trips...............Bill |

Just got a price on a 2001 2500, quad, 4 x 4, Cummins (ETH), 6 speed, everything but leather and snowplow. (Standard pwr/heat mirrors). I was quoted by one of the local Ft. Worth TX. dealers $34,250., with a delivery of 6-8 wks. How does that sound?? Includes all but tax,title,license. |

See post 155 for my invoice. I think you got a great deal (at least by California standards). I believe that I got a comparable price (as I went for the leather), but had to do some real searchin'. If you really do get this in 6-8 weeks, please post how you like it. I too, will be getting the Jake if the manual isn't enough for the mountain roads. Take note that the new HO engine requires a new Jake as the Turbo has been enlarged (see http://www.turbodieselregister.com/ for more details and some good discussions). -ddd |

I have a friend that has the Auto and just loves it! I probably would have gone that route (wife pressured) except I was worried about the hills wearing out the service brakes. My friend drives the flat and only got 20k before he had to do a $750.00 brake job. We do live in an area of lots of stop-and-go traffic though. Let us know when you get it and if it was really on schedule. -ddd |

Isn't Ventura down in LA? I work for The Boeing Company and often have to travel to Anaheim. Your retirement sure didn't last long! -ddd |

I have a 1500 Y2K Ram QuadCab- 4x4- long box -- 5.9ltr - 3.55 gears - automatic - loaded (Built in Mexico). Everything is working great so far! -- The only thing I am not happy with is the mileage - the best I have gotten so far is about 13 mpg (65mph on hwy for about 250 miles on cruise) Can I expect better yet???? I would have thought the engine would be broken in by now and should be getting better mileage. Anyone please let me know if I can expect better mileage in the near future???? I am taking it on a long trip out west in about a week and am hoping to get better mpg! |

| I have a 1500 Y2K Ram QuadCab 4x4 Short Box; 5.9L; 4.10 rear; Auto; SLT; Off-road pkg with just under 4k miles and am getting 12.8 mpg at best. | |
| Today is 18 weeks since my truck order was placed (sept 14). Status is again BG and I have a new hold now that I've not had before, the V10 engine is on restriction. Previous holds have been on lack of dealer allocation, paint and 4x4. The 800 number I guess is taking pity on me and is creating a corporate file for me to reference when I call in instead of my VON number. Also the corporate office is suppost to review my order weekly with the dealer. .... Rich | |
