Need dealer in Atlanta who knows Ram CTDs

My 98.5 Cummins diesel is still going strong but when traveling with our TT my wife wants less noise, more comfort. So I'm looking to buy a 2013/14 2500 from a Ram dealer in or near Atlanta who actually knows about CTDs. I went to one the other day where I knew more about options and delivery issues than anyone there -- they were clueless. My buddy took his to another local dealer who cross-threaded his oil filter! Can anyone in the metro area give me a referral to a dealer who:

1. Has at least one knowledgeable diesel mechanic
2. Doesn't let idiots touch diesels
3. Has a sales force which knows something about Ram HDs

Or am I dreaming?

    Really capable and experienced diesel mechanics typically make more money with better benefits working on OTR trucks, heavy equipment and stationary engines. Rare to find one at a car dealer. Good luck.


    I suspect you are right. Bummer. Good idea about checking the order sheet.
