| I finally talked with the Sales Manager after 4 calls over 3 hours. He was unaware there was an allocation problem on the one hand, but on the other he had called the district sales manager acouple of days ago and she said it would be taken care of for my truck and 2 others. Eventually he agreed to call again. But still after the allocation the hold on 2500 4x4's is still facing me. and then the rail car shortage. My dealer had several trucks built 3 weeks ago and they are still sitting at the factory because there are no rail cars. But I told him lets take them one at a time and get the allocation problem fixed. He does not know when they will get more allocations. Some how I wonder. .... Rich | |
| i received my 2k 4x2 qc 3500 ctd yesterday and i ordered it on 8/23/99. dc told me it was being built in dodgeville,detroit. the window sticker said it was built in fenton. dc said it was in the paint shop monday and would be kz wednesday. well wednesday it was setting at the dealers ready for me to pick up. i'm amazed they can even build a truck!! | |
| I called the 800 number again today. They say it shows the district office approved an allocation last Friday. The day after I talked to the sales manager. But still no build date. But they tell me it is positioned now to move ahead. Hopfully. 10 weeks tomorrow. ...... Rich | |

Should have gone Chevy--the only way to go! I'd hook up and tug any dodge on down the road! |

| I did consider Chevy, but deivery would be middle of next year. Also Chevy is not rated to tow heavy 5th wheels. I think a little over 11000 pounds is the limit. This Dodge will handle 13000+. The Dodge being heavier, with more horse power and torque you'd have your work cut out(g). | |
| Chevy is faster and better fuel economy. Towing and hauling both ford and dodge has you beat. | |

Congrats, heidi! Not real sure why DC told you your ram would be made at Dodge City (Warren, Michigan), since that plant makes regular cab Rams only. Quads come from Fenton or one of the 2 Mexico plants. kcram Community Leader/Smart Shopper Conference |

Mike, I currently have (2) Chevy 3500 4x4 4 door SRW, LWB, 6.5 Diesels Turbos at work, I have had them for about 1.5 years now. They both have been in the shop countless times, one is on its third tranny (automatic) and the other ones lastest is the A/C compressor went out. we use both of them daily and pull a trailer approx. 6000 lbs. and haul minimal loads. after dealing with these (2) Chevys and and mutiple Navistar Diesels, my choice was to buy the Dodge Cummins Turbo and I have been pleased ever since, you cannot go wrong when you look at the track of the over the road rigs, and the % of trucks that have them. So hook a chevy to my bumper and I will pull it to a reputable mechanic. Happy Thanksgiving! |

heidi, If you're like me, you will find yourself passing on the air conditioning just to have the windows open so you can hear the engine  kcram Community Leader/Smart Shopper Conference |
