Omg. Didn’t think to open the safe. I just assumed it was locked LOL. Thank you!

Lol, all good. Charles pointed it out when I picked the truck up.

I had Charles help me out too. My keys were right on top of the safe

My truck has been at Port Allen since Friday, just waiting for the email that it arrived at MD. The waiting is the hardest part.

My truck arrived at the same time and I'm hoping for the call that my truck is at the dealer sometime this week. I have jury duty next week and I really want to get it before then.

Where are you flying from? I'm driving from Abilene Texas to MD to trade in my current truck. Any of you are welcome to carpool with me if it's along the way and our trucks are ready at the same time. I'll be driving through Fort Worth /Dallas then south on I45 to I10.

Here's a thread on another forum describing the oil change on the 3rd gen diesel. It doesn't seem that mysterious really! This thread doesn't cover the fuel filter though.

DIY: 3rd Gen EcoDiesel Oil Change 2020 Ram 1500

www.ram1500diesel.com

Hopefully doing it oneself doesn't mess with the warranty coverage ? I guess as long receipts are kept, maybe even pictures as well, it should be OK.
I've had the 'brilliant idea' to change my own oil on occasion : I get the job done successfully, but usually I spill oil on the floor, then step in it and tread it all over the garage, and while taking the drain plug out, I invariably finish up with oil running down my hand and up my sleeve. That other thread I linked as a comment or two referencing a "Fumoto drain valve hose kit", which sounds like exactly what I need to save me from myself ! In the past I concluded that the ~ $40 odd I saved by doing it myself was hardly worth it for the mess I made and how long it took ! At $200 I might just have to learn how to get better at it.

Around the 7 minute mark for fuel filter change. This guy also has a full video on oil change and install Fumoto.
Yes, keep receipts for warranty.

When I spoke with Arron at MD on Friday last week, he told me they had over 300 vehicles at Port Allen awaiting delivery to the dealership. Mine and several other of us here have been waiting a week since arrival at Port Allen. It may take a little longer than what RamChat is telling you to get to the dealership.

I've never ordered a car before. Hypothetically, what happens if MD tells me to pick up my order while I'm out of county for vacation(2weeks)?

You need to complete funding of your order within 4 days to get it off their books. I don't think they would have an issue sitting the truck for a few days, but I'd get that in an email.

I'd speak with @TSL. I believe he was potentially going to be in a similar situation and MD said they could work with him. He probably has some first-hand knowledge of what they're able to do to work with you.

Mine sat for 2 weeks at MD before I could get to it. They had no problem with when I got there.

Rest assured they will work with you! There is a time frame that you have to close the deal. I did it on-line and a week later drove down to get it. I was hesitant about closing the deal without inspecting but Aaron assured me that he would tear up the paperwork if something was screwed up with the truck whenever I did take delivery.

 

[OutdoorsmanBackcountry]

Not sure if this is helpful or even if it's 100% true but fwiw a dealer told me a sure fire way to make your build take longer is add a sunroof

Yea im kinda hesitant myself on closing a deal without inspection etc.. Has anyone had them do some window tint before they picked there truck up?

I asked this same question to Renae when I ordered and she recommended that I have the windows tinted locally where I live in case there are any issues with bubbling. It didn't sound like they wanted to do it at all.

 

[Jgbstetson]

Definitely not true about the sunroof adding to build time. Mine was done in 6-7 weeks, deposit to dealer lot.
