Nice looking truck. I'd change the mud flaps out though.

I removed those DeMontrond metal signs off the mudflaps this morning. All black now. No free advertising on MY truck!

I do plan on getting some pimp 19.5" wheels and tires for it. Like these: http://www.ricksontruck.com/customers/54/[/QUOTE]
I was looking around for a dually to replace my single rear wheel truck.The excessive weight on the rear when pulling my trailer was beyond the rating of the load range E 16 inch tires.I thought my only choice was getting a dually.After searching Rickson's site I decided on a new set of wheels with a load range H tire with a 4850 lb rating for my 2500 HD.Not only will they look pimp I'll sure feel better going down the road with the added safety factor.That's a huge improvement over a 3040 lb rated 16 inch. link Tony.

$10K off sticker is a bit unrealistic for a Dodge, as Dodge trucks are not marked up as high over invoice as Ford or GM trucks. Dodge are already cheaper for the options packages.

Typical GM retail is 8K over invoice. Typical Ford retail is $9K over invoice. Typical Dodge retail is only $5K over invoice.
Sorry, Tony, didn't mean to rain on your parade. I should have been more specific. It was an advertised discount on specific remaining '03's last year when I was looking at trucks. Of course, we all know about advertised prices and actual prices.

I drove a 2500 Cummins auto Lararmie and it was a very nice truck. It stickerd at like $39k and they would do $9k off sticker, but they were trying to screw me hard on my trade-in, so I walked. I ended up getting a more plebian truck in my '04 Silverado 1500 LT. It's as much truck as I need right now, but those diesels sure are nice. My bro has an '03 Duramax/Ally and I love it. The Cummins HO was VERY quiet.
