DML Member Benefits

• Learn from others' mistakes (and successes)
  When one of us screws up, we can send a message to the list along the lines of "Don't try this at home" and keep everyone else from repeating the same mistake. Or, when something works, we can use it, and avoid having to re-invent the wheel individually.
• Find out who has the cheapest prices or the best service
  When you're buying aftermarket goods for your truck, do you look for cheap prices, good service, or both? Through the list, you can find out who has the best prices on a particular item, which companies are good, and which ones to be wary of.
• Tech info
  Whether you want to go faster, drive through deeper mud, or just keep your truck running at its best, the tech info available through the list is second to none. (Well, "second to few", anyway...) ;-) The information and advice you receive through the list will help to keep your truck running at its best, and help to keep you safe.
• Quantity discounts
  Often, several DML'ers will join together to purchase items in quantity, which allows the manufacturer or distributor to give them to us for a better price. Some examples of discounts we've received in the past are a $75 discount on a fiberglass ram-air hood, and a $100+ discount on a set of headers. If you're interested in buying something that you think you can get a quantity discount on, just ask the list and see if there is any interest; you never know!
• Strength in numbers
  Companies treat you with more respect when you have the power to instantly share your experiences with hundreds of potential customers
• Have your finger on the pulse on the industry
  DML members are among the very first to learn of new developments and technologies, such as:
  • The new ('97) bodystyle
    
  • The Sidewinder
    
  • The Durango
    
  • The Dakota R/T
    
  • The Quad Cab Dakota
  • The HEMI powered Dakota R/T (Yep!!)
  Even when we don't have the jump on everyone else, we're not very far behind them; DML'ers don't miss much, and when something exciting comes along, they share it with the list. If it is printed in a magazine somewhere, the list probably knows about it. :-)
  
  While staying in stride with the industry provides some interesting stuff to think about, it can also be quite useful. Case in point: while everyone else thought that the 1998 R/T was going to be an option you could order (and it was, for a while, until Dodge cancelled all the orders and changed the R/T over to a limited production run), DML members were running out to dealerships with deposits, knowing full well that Dodge was only making 2000, and would not be taking orders. Some people put down deposits at several dealerships and ended up having the first crack at a few R/T's. After securing their own, they offered the others to their fellow DML'ers before removing their deposits.)
• A sense of community
  Sure, all the above stuff is great, but (IMHO) the best thing about the DML is the camaraderie in this virtual community that we've established. People from all walks of life are drawn together by this common interest. Yeah, there's the occasional flamefest, but DML'ers are quick to forget and get back to talkin' about the best truck there is. :-)
