Cummins option recommendations
Alright! Red meat! Right up my alley! First let me commend you on your fine taste and wise choice in trucks! ;o) Just my "unbiasd" humor. You are gonna love the 325 hp and 600 ft./lbs. torque! Ken, I would suggest the SLT Plus (Laramie) package and the long bed version. Heated leather seats are so nice! side curtain air bags are a nice safety option. The power folding trailer tow mirrors are a MUST. Get the off road tires. That stock tires are the same size but all season....not so good off road. The AM/FM/CD/GPS Nav package is a coin flip but I would go for it. Other wise the standard stereo/CD player is fine. Get the protection group; skid plates and tow hooks are a very good insurance policy. The trailer tow group is a MUST. The sport package is a coin flip and matter of taste but I would go for it. Get the front hood protection shield. Rear window defogger is a Must. The engine block heater was standard on mine but GET IT.....a MUST, saves wear and tear over the long term with a preheated engine. I got the sliding rear window and have not used it yet but plan to when I get a bed top. Forget about the under rail bed liner. Get the Rhino Liner of Linex Liner, MUCH better; I have the Rhino Liner. Anti-spin rear axle is an ABSOLUTE, especially if you do any off or dirt roading; these trucks are a bit light in the rear. I like the clearnce lamps and suggest getting them. I like the Uconnect option features too but a matter of personal taste. I would also very strongly recommend that you get the cost of a Jacobs Exhaust Brake and its installation included in the price of the truck. The exhaust brake will pay for itself many times over in reduced wear on brakes and far superior stopping power with a heavy load.........plus they sound REALLY cool! ;o) Westin makes some really nice after market stuff such as the step nerf bars (you will want these if you want you wife to get in and have peace ;o) ) and a front bumper brush guard. Get the biggest fender flaps you can (it will save on the zillions of paint chips from rocks and debry. Maybe some rear tail light brush guards too. If you plan on occasional towing, the 3.73's will be great. If you planned to do extensive heavy towing; get the 4.10's for sure! White and Grapite Metalic seem to be the easiest to keep clean but the red and black look cool. You're gonna have serious sticker shock but no way around that these days. Good luck and happy haggling! ;o)

Ken, the Uconnect option is a hands free feature that has the phone mic built into the rear view mirror and also has some other hands free feature for the stereo operation I believe, plus the auto dimming rear view mirror. Can I spend you money or what! ;o) I figure that the diesel option is going to put the price way up there and the added goodies will increase the resale value down the road if you ever decide to sell but they sure make driving the truck a pleasure! ;o)

Ken, the sticker shock factor is an eye opener but any of the other brand diesel pickups will cost the same or more. If you are interested; a friend of mine's father who lives in Washington is going to be selling his 2002 Dodge Cummins pickup which is VERY similar to mine. He looked at my truck during a visit to his son and liked it and bought the one he has now. He wants a 2004 Ram 600 and will be selling his 2002 if you are interested. I can ask my friend to see if his father wants to sell now and get you his contact info.
