Anchorage Alaska 15 inches and still snowing

I would say so. But very hard to say when. As someone on here has said I think the tranny temp gauge. And working hard or not to get tp 150 degrees tells you a lot about the torque converters condition. And the bottom of the pan and your fluids color and condition. If it’s slipping it will make heat and that’s very bad for the transmission. Just my 2 cents

That’s why I bought a warranty and truck will remain box stock. Truck has plenty of power no need to have moreor modify it in anyway. 19 f and a foot of new snow and still snow. Getting to test the 4 wheel high today. But being retired I really don’t have anywhere to go. Just joy ride around the hood

Tradesman no adaptive cruise control.

New truck came now I understand how the brake works It’s just really awesome. Works great

Now that I have a more reliable truck ??? under my slide in with a nice fat warranty I might just do that. I was just down in that country a couple weeks ago on my 3 week road trip with wife and a rental car

Stubborn like me. But I had to do it Physically can’t take care of old silver anymore Dodge will take care of it for me now Got the warranty I’m golden. No more busted knuckles for me but I did like it at the time I guess. But I tell you if you drove one you would want one Pretty awesome truck. Don’t drive one you WILL want one trust me

3500 ho aisin regular cab long box I’m loving this new truck 80 miles in the rain and slushy snow. Smooth power had it in 4 high. Exhaust brake is awesome my old 99 is pretty old school. After 23 years it was time for a new one. Should haul my camper much better than the old 2500. I’m a happy camper.

How many mikes on this truck ? Should be a nice tranny when he’s done. How long will it take did he say?

Snow in the mountains. About 2500 feet and up. 2 -3 inches in the bottom of the bowl but warm rain and it’s gone. Balmy for early November for sure Door was unlocked but lots of stuff behind the seat so I didn’t go in or lift the hood etc. I like the interior look. It a pretty nice looking outfit. Looks like a strong truck. And my wife likes it time will tell I guess. More later.

Went for a drive today and there it sat. They had just taken it off the truck.

Between the frame rails in the front. Sorry for a cargo rack or put a boat in while the truck camper is on etc

Wish I could still work on my old 1999 but my second knee surgery made getting up and down off a creeper a never to happen again event Plus at almost 72 I have to take money out of my 401 k now so I might as well buy a new truck and let dodge take care of it for me. Getting old sucks but beats the alternative. Plus you can’t take anything with you when it’s over right? Also it will help the economy

Governor pressure sensor and solenoid Sound like to me. I wouldnt drive it very far in this condition if it’s smelling burnt. Up on a flatbed to the shop or you might be buying a new tranny

Called salesman at dealer this morning . He has a vin number for truck. Had a hard time finding info in the system (computer). Says November 8 th arrival now not tomorrow as told earlier Also has no price yet. Pretty scared times . Nobody knows anything. I’m in no rush but the price might scare me away. Who knows?Time will tell. Your thoughts please

So Oregon and I guesss New Jersey you can’t fill your own tank. Attendant has to do it. A law. They don’t want you to slip and fall in the rain I’m told. Fine by me Will call dealer Saturday or Monday. New truck is supposed to be here now but who knows

On the lot. In parking lots driving. Anything ? 4100 mile 3 week road trip is over. Fly home tomorrow out of sea tac back to Alaska. Maybe a new truck by next weekend. One low tire and some California state park officer with big old glock hanging on his hip complained that I was in a handicap spot and my blue tag was not hanging on the mirror but laying on the dash. Several near misses of courd Course. $ 5.75 a gallon was the most I paid for gas on the cali coast.

My mag hytech leaks a little also . You torque the cork gasket to spec. Run it a thousand miles and retighten as they are all loose again. Not good

Yosemite yesterday. Turned around a couple days ago. Fires on the coast north of LA. Headed north now. Lake Tahoe today Some gold country stuff then back up north thru Oregon to the cascades then Seattle and home in 9 days. 2100 miles so for in our rental Plymouth Voguger mini van. On the road again New truck end of the month

So I’m trying to understand the tow haul mode on my soon new to me truck. Ho asin. 3500. How low will it go in miles per hour before the braking stops 20 ? 30? Miles per hour. Please explain how it works thanks

So 315 hp makes about 750 ft .lbs torque. Sound about right Maybe a little high I think I would say 1.4 -1.5 is a close factor not 2.4 so 215 /420 would be 325 Sorry. 315 hp would be about 600 ft lbs torque

I’m surprle Surprised how quiet the new trucks are. In northern California now land of fruits and nuts 200 north of San Fran redwoods are always cool 1100 miles in 6 days watch out log trucks can ruin your day.

Stealer texted me last Monday. I m in Seattle headed south hwy 101 road trip. October 29 th new truck will be in Los anchorage Dealer prep etc I’m back on the 25 th. Wife and I will go look at it and take it for a drive If I don’t like it I’m doing first right of refusal. No vin number. Will I like it or not. I’m pretty old school with my 99

No vin. Nothing. Will call him when I return.
