OGP Posted January 26, 2009 Author Posted January 26, 2009 What kind of deals are out there in california? ALMOST $20K OFF OF STICKER ON A DIESEL. Quote
dunefreak Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Don't do it. Don't get me wrong, Dodge's are good trucks but I don't think you'll like it as much as your Dmax. Chevy has just about the same deals right now anyways. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 ALMOST $20K OFF OF STICKER ON A DIESEL. The best i have seen here in town was 12k off.. If i could get 20k off one of those 09 mega cabs that would be the shizzle and i would be sitting in dodges dealership first thing tomorrow morning Quote
dunefreak Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 FYI: there is always the fine print. Ads are deceiving. Also: we're talking about 20K "off sticker" here. You know how that goes. Is it really a true 20K off? Or are ya still gonna be paying 40K for it in the end? Quote
Joephat65 Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I had a buddy that had a 08 mega cab with the diesel and he had 3 turbos go out on it with only 15000 miles and his truck was all stock. He had the chopper buy it back so he could get a gasser.The DPF on the cummins is a joke. The EGR puts to much soot in the turbo. So in short just get a chevy and be done. Quote
sanddunesaddict Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 the 20k off is a crock of sh*t. We are advertising it also but nobody qualifies for it. Quote

wingnut Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Ha, good one. Pretty awesome as I sat there for 5 effin hours Quote
britincali Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Im a finance manager at a dodge dealer, I dont work in service or profess to have any great car knowlage but you can take this to the bank..... The new cummins is sh*t Ive seen a few of them in service now with check engine lights/no start/ no boost issues, most of 'em come in on the hook. From what customers and the service guys have told me the 2-3 yr old 5.9 is the only way to go, the new bigger motor is nothing more than a 1500lb lump of iron that makes your dash light up like a chrismas tree.

raspadoo Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Just picked up a new 08 LOADED superduty on fri. (all right, lets hear it Ford haters). Checked all 3, out Ford came in at about $8500 back of invoice... Just about have to give away the 04 6.0 but I had ZERO issues with it so it's going to a buddy. The 6.4 hauls the mail compared to the 6.0.. Quote

The 6.4 hauls the mail compared to the 6.0.. When you say "Just about had to give it away" is that becasue the 6.0 is a POS? I seen a nice one for cheap but the stories here scare me, I am sure they are good trucks as long as you service them? right? Quote
Jakster884 Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 The 08 superduty is a sweet azz truck. twin turbo and lots of ballz. halls the mail and consumes lots of fumes. Great Choice!!! Quote

Great Choice!!! twin stage turbo, not twin turbo Mark (crusty) isn't very impressed with his. He said his Dmax pulled better than his new Ford. Quote

I offered to help Wingy out too, But he insisted he had it covered. I went on to let him know: that is what he gets for NOT visiting while he was down here. Hope you got her home ok. R- BTW: My 6.0 only gets the mail to camp. Delivery = mail-by-rail. Quote

I have a 6.0 2003 F250 and had very few issues with it. It blew a down tube and had a couple of minor loil leaks but nothing major and 03 was it's first year. Quote

I did buy the 200k/2year extended though. Might have wasted some $ there. oh well, piece of mind. So far so good. :praying: Quote
mush Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 i had an 06 6.0 and had nothin but trouble(only when towing) with the turbo couplers and head bolts after it left us stranded for the 3rd time on the highway with an infant, i traded it in fo rthe 6.7 dodge. love the new dodge, it has had some dash lights come on nothin serious, been a good truck so far tows like a mutha. my .02 Quote
Eddie Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I have had two 6.0 Fords with no problems just service it and dont put any after market crap on it. Quote
1BADYFZ Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 My wife works for a diesel company and the owner told me the 6.0 has had some problems but only after the exoctic stuff was put on to make it go faster. Other then that thay are good just take care of them. Hell he said all the diesel trucks have issues and wil cost a boat load of cash to fix any major problems but thay are all good in his book. Waiting to pull the trigger on a D-max or a ford. They need to be lifted and the right price but very soon. I sold the 1500 and cant see me driving a v8 again..GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!!! Quote
