If you get a Dodge with a 5/6speed, you are GOLDEN.

Hahaha yeah right I took the truck one day to pick up the trailer and I got on the highway and looked down and this is what the spedo said it was 60mph off lol






Sat was my first time getting pulled over cause I have my radar detector all the time but If it wasnt for kelsey in the passenger seat I would of got a ticket she alctually used to date the cops son so he took my license and then shined the flashlight in and said oh hi kelsey and said ok slow it down and have a good night. Then he walked away and I said I love you so much haha
my stepdads sierra did the same exact thing luckily his is under the recall(they didn't issue it out via mail and stuff u have to check the vin to see if its on the list for recalls)

I agree, it's all out or nothing lol. How can you resist not to, especially if you have a V8! The MOST ANNOYING thing about my truck is that the front left window broke and falls down. I took the panel off and found out that one little tiny clip has broken which has cause the wire to loose all tension. I have no idea where to begin looking for this tiny clip, considering it's shattered and broke so I cant even show people. I've been using the rubber cover off the brake pedal to wedge between the window and weather stripping to hold it up! Also that one wiper and the dent in the driver's door from when a guy on a crotch rocket ran into me, I don't even want to get started on that story lol

I've had electrical issues since I bought the truck. First the keyless entry goes out and starts killing my battery, then my day time driving lights start staying on even after i turn the truck off, now I have something else draining the battery so I have to drive it about every 2 days or the battery is dead. Spent $65 and the local shop and they didn't fix it, just made it better. On 3rd battery since last Oct. If the battery does die then when I get it started and drive it the rpms drop way under 1000 when i let off the gas and then shoots back up to idle. I'm thinking i'll just have to take it to a dodge dealership, and the closest is about 1 1/2 away. I'm thinkin it might be my stereo, it's stock, but the memory on it doesn't work like it should, it always jumps to the end of a cd, so I might try rewiring it, just haven't had the time.

Definately an issue. You can get great speakers, but without subs its just not as good as it can be.

I hate the fact that theres surface rust on the edges of the fenders by the headlights that makes orange rust stains down my bumper. On a white truck XP. I clean them and they're back in a week. Gettin it painted soon anyway a darker color. Then i can't see them.

Its a mopar dude that's what they do been doing it since the muscle cars. I think its better for weight distribution when u don't have any passengers to offset the weight of the driver
