I posted my first thread here the other day about being new here and to say that I am new to the world of Diesel trucks. I just traded a 2001 V10 LB for my new one. I was going to buy a Diesel when I purchased the V10 but I couldn’t justify the price difference. I drove the V10 for 2 years until the current incentives were tempting me so I bought a new HO and I am happy, here is the vitals.<br>2003, 2500 SLT, SB, 2WD, HO, 48RE, Leather Package Drk Slate, Security Group, Light Group, Tow Group, Towing Mirrors, Tow Hooks and the color is White.<br>I think I did well with the final purchase price so I am happy.<br>I have been lurking here for a while and reading all I could.<br><br>When the salesman called to let me know the truck was in<br>I had told the salesman to make sure to check the differential for proper fluid type and amount. He thought I was NUTS.... All he could say was &quot;This is a new truck&quot;.<br>I told him I still wanted him to check it, and either he does it or we do it together when I pick it up.<br>Well the truck was ready to be picked up and off I went to get it.<br>As I pulled into the lot the salesman saw me and as I approached the showroom he was called someone by phone. Out from the back comes a mechanic. I was worried something was wrong with the truck.<br>The first words from the mechanic was, “Who or How did you know about the Fluid level not being correct in the differential?” <br>I smiled and said &quot;was it off?&quot;<br>He said &quot;¾ of a quart! And I filled it.&quot;<br>He was amazed, and told me he has already started to check all the rams on the lot.<br><br>As soon as I got the truck home I removed the silencer ring and the sound of the Turbo is music to my ears.<br>My next door neighbor just bought a SO two weeks earlier and didn’t know about he HO, he was surprised about it.<br>He put an AIRAID system on his this weekend has anyone heard about this system, is it good or not?<br> <br><br>It was good to know that with your help here at this site I am able to have an inside advantage to problems and helpful advice when needed.<br>Thanks again<br>

Give Rod an e-mail at www.wildcatdiesel.com or a shout at 306.862.5829
and ask about the Scotty Ram Air 3.

nicksort <br>Do a search on the Scotty Ram air 3 to read some of the threads on the system. I am very pleased with mine, I don't know any thing about the AIRAID system so I am of no help there, but send Rod an email like Shovelhead stated. Enjoy the new ride ;D ;D ;D
