No brickyard for me. I went once, sat out of turn 4 and couldn't see much at all. The highlight of the race was when Gordon wrecked in front of us. :-P Hopefully, the new KY speedway will get a race. Already plan to go to the truck race this year. Joe Ruttman won in the Dana Dodge on Saturday out in Phoenix. What a great race for the Dodge Ram to win. The race was called the Chevy trucks 150.

WEEPING in Louisville
member of the ETH, DEE waiting club
Then I asked if he could locate one. He refused. Then I asked if he could order a 2000. He said wait until mid-August. Next day I went to autobytel.com and immediately got a response from Dartmouth Dodge. Dealt with a guy named Dave Wynne. Extremely knowledgable, friendly, and willing to help. Found me 5 99 V10s in the Northeast. When I didn't like them he immediately ordered my 2K. Central is okay for 360s and diesels. I was very disappointed with their sales staff. BTW, whereabouts in the People's Republic of Massachusetts are you?
I did drive one of 2 v10's they had it was a white 2500. It was also quite obvious they were only interested in selling what was on their lot ,although i did see a garnet red 2001 that was built to order. out of all the dodge dealers in the area they are the one i have seen with the most product in stock . As far as the quality of the sales force ....that is usually a problem everywhere
Dakota crewcab has been born, does anyone know if
Dodge is coming out with a Ram crewcab? (I really
need the extra space!)
PS. Thanks for all the great info!!!
Nascar6: I got a kick out of your favorite part of the Brickyard!
Bucky44: Your profile says you're shopping for a GMC? What gives? How did you get on this site? Anyway, welcome over to Dodge Country - if you're converting. I've seen the Crew Dakota too, and I can't help but wonder if the Ram is headed for a Crew next. It seems to be the last thing Dodge is willing to do. They claim there isn't a market for it, but I see all kinds of GM and Ford Crews on the road. I would have liked one, but after waiting several years, I decided that the time was right and I'd settle for the Quad Cab. I couldn't bring myself to look at GMs, and I like the Cummins over the Power Stroke. Besides, I've always been a Mopar man. Good luck.

I was told today I'm D1 with 4/4 the est. build date. My dealer says 4/15 is the est. ship date and that the 3.54 LS was ordered.
And get this - DC confirms that I'll have the 3.54 LS! Thanks to all you guys who helped me find out that this was possible.
DC says it'll be built at the St. Louis plant and it will come all the way by truck and not rail. Hopefully this will get it home quicker.
Seems like everyone called the 1-800 number today, including me. I was told basically the same as Rich and firemandave were told- D1 status on 3/23, scheduled to be built the 1st week of April. I expect to see the truck on or around 4/15. 800 number told me they'll be transporting the truck using the Cassens Co. They have a website of http://www.cassens.com/
I can track the progress of my truck in transport through their site. You guys might be able to do the same. Rich's, firemandave's and my truck are probably three in a row on the assembly line.:) I hope they don't go through some late Friday afternoon.
Indyff83, I got back from Bristol today. Had awesome weather. A good race too. It would've been better if Gordon (Jeff) went into the wall instead of just hitting that tire on pit road. Next race for me is Southern 500 @ Darlington, then the Winston 500 @ Talledega. But there's a summer truck race at the new KY Speedway- will be there for that too.

By the way, California Concepts quoted me $309. + $30. Shipping for one. That's the best price I've found so far.
Click on discussion forums. Then 1998-2001 Ram 24valve trucks. Then look for the topic called "Which bedliner do you like and why?"
Ramman2001,
Rusty huh, well I won't hold that against you.
Markcord,
Ditto on the 3 car comment! 8th championship? I think not. Next year I gotta pull for Bill Elliot, Ward Burton, Dave Blaney, John Andretti, and the Petty's. The drivers of the Dodge Intrepids.
Wonderboy every week? Watch out for those pesky tires.

I drove it home today. The experience of allocation, D1, build date, train ride from Mexico, Delivery by truck, etc. was a ride in itself.
The truck is truly sexy and makes it into my garage by the hair on its chinny chin chin. The power mirrors are plenty big for looking down on cars. The camper special springs raised the rear end into the sky. I just ordered a Reese Titan receiver class V.
I am going to write a letter of recommendation to my Fleet manager, who to the end was a square helpful guy. I probably will also send a letter of complaint to those jokers who control the Corp. files.
My computer goes between 0 and 24 miles per gallon, averaging 6.5 on the way home. Power is great. Sure glad I decided on the V-10 stick.
Thanks for the info at this site. Bye.
I see alot of stuff in these posts about checking on the status of my truck but I don't understand the codes. Can anyone enlighten me.
One more thing, I was told there is an indefinate hold on six speeds and a friend is about to order one. Should I tell him to forget it if he wants it this year?
Rich: Any news with your status? Like Nascar6 said, I bet our trucks are 3 in a row. (I wonder if our VINs are 1,2,3)
Superjim: I ordered the Bedrug from California Concepts ($339. w/shipping) - should be here this week. I also ordered a fiberglass tonneau cover.
Indyff83: Are you still out there? How's the beast running?
By the way, I heard that some Ford trucks are looking at November build dates now!
nascar6
I'm sure glad your VIN is before mine. Yours should get built before mine since you've waited over 1/2 a year for it. How many weeks now? Is yours getting built in St.Louis or south of the border?
