Henson down in Madisonville, and Demontrond here in Conroe facilitated quite a few. I figured multiply the ones those guys did by the number of dealerships there are and it would be a bunch of them.

I have been out of the business since 2005, so I can only go with what my service writers tell me these days. I stay as far away from the car business as I can, but I don't know why they would be lying to me.

Demontrond I haven't heard that name since I lived in Houston 30 years ago. Not surprised they're still in business they were big back then. I think even Marvin Zindler bought cars from them.

I sold a car to Marvin Zindler when I worked at River Oaks Chrysler. Talk about a cheap Bastard.

LOL Marvin busted a company I worked for called Capital Home Rentals. Their specialty was listing properties WAY below market value. The only problem was when the suckers got to the addresses 99% were empty lots. One day Marvin and his Eyewitness News team showed up at our Telephone Road office and very shortly thereafter we were all let go and the officers were charged in court.

Anyway back on topic I think the best year for Ram trucks will be this year. All the improvements to the interior, plus the hydroformed frame, will set sales records.

I have a 2004 3500 Dually that I purchased new. The day I brought it home I installed the complete Banks system as well as the ATS Trans Command. The only issue I've had since (I still have the truck) is a fuel pump that went out when the truck wasn't even a year old. The pump was mounted on the engine block and they made a Tech revision where the pumps were moved to the frame at the rear of the truck. Cummins covered this. I use this truck for pulling my 38' Formula and 32' car trailer. The Cummins has no issue pulling either of them.

You don't say if it's cloth or leather, but NADA book says $25,000 for excellent condition and Kelley says $32000. I think Kelley is the one the dealers use.

If it's the Laramie leather option you can add probly $1500 to Kelley's price so $30k would be a pretty good deal.

I've been considering getting the Banks Technicooler, High Ram intake manifold, iQ computer and exhaust brake. What Banks stuff did you put on yours beside the Trans Command? It won't work on my truck because it's a G56 manual.

Figuered you'd work for a company like that. And you didn't have a clue what was going on. Right!!!
