Thought I'd share a few pics of my new truck!
It's a 2013 Ram 3500, Laramie, 6 Speed Manual. Major options include rambox, and 3.42 gears. After looking for a 6 speed manual Laramie truck for several weeks I ended up ordering this one. It's not that they don't exist, however, at the time of ordering there was zero Laramie 6 Speed '13 3500s. I don't have huge plans for the truck, but a fairly hot tune (when /if ever available) and straight exhaust with DEF is the goal.
A few major changes for the '13 3500s is engine changes, new interior, new frame, and new 3 Link front end (very similar to Super Duty.) There are countless other small revisions such as frame mounted secondary fuel filter, front axle disconnects, dual radiators, etc.
The interior is night and day better than what they were before. My 2007 2500 had a very basic interior while this one has "leather" covered and stiched panels, heated / cooled seating, and an awesome 8.4" Uconnect system:
In the gauge cluster is the 7" EVIC which is really neat as well:
At this point, fuel mileage is supringly decent for a stock truck. The EVIC is currently showing 19mpg which is made up of a lot of slow highway driving. For reference, I hand calculated the last tank and there was a .3mpg variance between hand calculation and EVIC.
No major plans with the truck except a few basic mods:
-DPF / DEF delete tune when available
-5" Straight Exhaust
-Wheels / Tires - looking at 20x10" BMF Rehabs or novakanes in PVD. (there is currently a 6 week back order)
-Leveling Kit w/ 1 - 1.5" blocks in rear when available.
