New truck in the works thought ?
 

So after about 12 years we buy new truck to pull the horses so as 03 has started giving me problems Fuel system gemlin ,but any way i was at the dealership and poking around and they have brand new 2014 ram 3500 srw crew cab Limtied fully loaded 6.7 cummins fell in love with the truck but it also DEF on i hoping not to get it but does any one have one and how do you like it pro's con's ? how fast do go thought the DEF ? like to know what getting into if i'm spending $67,000 on the truck not sure what gonna do 03 but i think i'll keep it only wanted to give $10,200 for it, the engine is worth that much !

Don't do it. My buddy has one and hates it

I drove a 2014 at a mine site for 2 months. There were all sorts of weird little issues with the truck. Check engine light was on atleast once a week and when I drove the 250km to the dodge dealer they said it was "normal" and they just re-set it. There was no lack of power and the two stage exhaust brake was pretty sweet on the steep hills. I'd wait until 2015 and see if they work the bugs out of that motor.

I hope you are successful with your built.

So as right now looks like i'm hold off and see if i can get the fuel gemlin outta the fuel system and keep 03 for another year or two then buy new one maybe 2015, and that really nice one i fell in love they still have the truck ! but really don't want don't need that much extra stuff, but i'll keep the 03 till she too rotting and looks as bad as my 91 did, still shooting my self in the foot for getting rid old girl but would cost way too much to fixer her as she lived in NH for all her life !

Well on the high side , the new 2014 does get better MPG than the 2013 due to the DEF and such, also the DEF can go fairly far, as for the DPF, it too will not get fowled up because the DEF causes the fuel to burn cleaner through the DPF...

If you did decide to get the 2014, make sure ya get a good warrentee and service plan in place before ya sign ..

well it looks like might be getting a 12 6.7 cummins for myself between now and spring any help on that would great too but from the looks of the 03 that lives on the farm we gonna keep fix the fuel pump and put where it belongs and keep it for a bit then get 14-15 to have to semi retried the 03 have the new one to do the work and long hauls
