QUAD: Sorry to say (but I'll be perfectly honest), the Safari Bar install was halted midway through the project. I removed the plasic shroud under the oil pan to access the bumper mount bolts (required) and realized very quickly that the truck would have to go on a hoist to do the install... Replaced the shroud and struck a deal with the local Ziebart guy to do the install while they have the truck in to spray the Rhino Liner. I'm not saying the Safari install couldn't be done in the driveway with a set of ramps... Just don't have that kind of time to burn, and felt the better route was to pay the guys to install while they have the truck in the bay. As to lights... I'm still fishing for an appropriate set of blue visibility "bullet" lights... When the whole thing is wrapped up, I'll be happy to send digital images if you wish. All-in-all, I'm extremely pleased with the accessorizing to date... The white/black theme (no chrome) is very appealing, and I'm certain the finished truck will be perfect for my purposes. |

TP: Your dealer's willingness to swap oil changes for the priviledge of "evaluating himself" on the CSI form doesn't surprise me in the least! I have to assume that your dealer has attained Five-Star status (a marketing advantage). Retaining that status depends in part upon what shows up on those DC evaluation forms. Providing a couple of oil changes is a cheap and quick way for the dealer to help retain Five Star. SO... What does Five Star REALLY mean??? Go figure! |

Thanks for the input on the leak under the engine and I agree it is most likely condensation I just wanted to be sure we agree on what side of the compartment we are talking about. My first post was written: "only to discover the leak coming from a hole in the back fire wall just to the right of the LEFT exhaust tube." (see post #459) I see you mentioned "the right rear of the engine" in post #464. To simply clear up the location it is on the left of the engine compartment while standing in front of the Quad. As for reading my manual, I agree, I should but I didn't think it would give me an answer as to where that particular tube leads too. Again thanks for the response though bpeebles, I'm still learning. 4daughters |

Zonk re your post 455 on Bucket seats and overhead convenience group I have this combination in my truck. Maybe a another fluke with green light if they will not allow it. Good luck. Carl |

| The drain tube for the evaporator core is on the passenger side of the engine compartment, below the firewall. What you saw is merely water, not to worry. | |

| are any restrictions currently on the Quad Cab? We've ordered the SLT Plus Decor Group that gives you the Tire & Handling Group (4x4; 31" x 10.5" R15 OWL all-terrain tires, 15" x 8" cast aluminum wheels). I'm hoping it's a sour grapes thing, but the dealer we DIDN'T order from is trying to tell us we won't see it for 4 months, as there's a restriction on that group. Of course, if they didn't tell us the lines were shut down for the summer, instead trying to sell us the one they have on the lot, I may have been more inclined to believe them! The dealer we DID order from says 6-8 weeks. I question that too after reading all of the posts! | |
| Thanks for the update. Does your overhead console have the trip computer, compass stuff,etc? Something else about greenlight - they seem to have a different way of depicting options/packages. They don't have the relatively familiar groups like 23B, 26G, etc, at least for the Dodge Dakota. For example, they have several 4x2 packages dealing mainly with engine and transmission. But its not clear that a/c and the deluxe conv grp are part of any package. It certainly increases the cost as you add them. So, it makes it harder to compare the price of the vehicle you build on their site to that you build on another. Still just trying to narrow down who I will try to deal with. | |
| I just went back 40 or so entries - and saw a similar question as mine. After posting that, I called DC customer svc. I said I ordered an SLT Plus Decor Group Quad Cab and was told by a dealer (not mine) that it was on restriction. The woman had me wait while she checked - sure enough, no more 00's will be made in SLT. It seems something in the SLT package is the problem. I had already called DC after ordering it to ensure they were still orderable and was assured they were still being made. I just wasn't specific enough about WHAT I was ordering. Now, I wonder what my dealer is thinking? NO, I can't wait til the fall - we're short a car here - I need transportation NOW. I would be willing to wait if they provide a free vehicle for the wait! | |
| Looking at the Saturday morning edition of the paper I noticed that Landers had placed their traditional Memorial Day sale ad. The ad says they have 50 Quads in stock. For those looking to find a 2000 model Quad this might be a possibility. You can visit their website at www.landers.com Get their toll free number and when you call the sales department ask for Melanie. She treated me well when I ordered my Quad. | |
