Question Dodge Ram Fit and Finish
I am a future Dodge Ram owner(I sat in one yesterday and started her and now I have second thoughts about my truck) and I would like to know if you are happy with the fit and finish of your truck. Have you had any problems with peeling paint and leaking front and rear windows.
I ask these questions because these were my concerns when I was in the market for a new truck.I'm new to trucks (had nothing but Hondas and Acuras/Would not buy a imported car or truck) and to Dodge products.
Are you happy with your dealer as far as servicing your truck.My Ford Superduty has the dreaded cackle but neither Ford/Navistar or my dealer can fix her.When you spend $36,000 on a truck I expect some service to go with the truck.The sound of the Cummins when I started her was SWEET.
Have you found any other factory/dealer prblems with your truck? I hope they improve the manual tranny(6 speed) on these truck and give it a ZF-6 speed or better.I also heard that the white paint stands up to the elements better.Is this true.Any help for the future would be great.I don't own a Cummins Ram but I joined the TDR and dropped the PSR.Thanks again JOE
