Has Dodge released their delivery date info and pricing for trucks with the 6.7 Cummins?

Ford and Dodge are both buying diesel engines from major engine suppliers for the medium duty truck market. Medium duty truck manufacturers can still build trucks with 2006 emission standard engines well into the first quarter of 2007. This likely means tight supply of 6.4 Powerstrokes and 6.7 Cummins engines till the middle of January. This year end changeover is a big one.

WHAT!?!

I wouldn't want a Monday truck. Or a Friday truck for that matter. But... I bet that's the week of 12/18.

My 250 is on order but....

Since Goodyear is having a strike, my truck is on hold until 20" tires become available. S#!T...

Better to wait than settle for something you don't want.

Crap, I'm sitting here nervously waiting for any and all of ballbandit's updates and I'm perfectly happy with my '03 gasser. Never know there might be an '03 dark shadow grey 4X CC on the used side of a Nor Cal Ford lot in a couple of months...
