Default A few things...

First off, I posted this in the Ram forum too but I thought you guys might like it too. http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/ctd/2250200972.html
I found it just poking around on craigslist like I do when I'm on the computer. It looks to be pretty rare, I have never seen one around.

Another thing is I got a V8 Throttle Body off a 360 and I was just wondering if anyone on here has done it yet, and how much of a power increase I will see (not expecting to get V8 power out of a V6, but should do a little bit). Other than that, not much going on my mpg has gone up to 14.5 since I changed the oil. It turns out that it was pretty overfilled, which does make a difference in mileage. So don't overfill your oil! Thanks guys.

It's awesome, 2nd gen looks really sick with 4 full doors. And yeah, I just saved pictures of it to my computer, lol. It's pretty close to me too, I wanna drive up just to look at it. But probably not, haha.

That Ram SUV looks awesome! Never seen anything like it. The rear looks to be off a Tahoe or something like that. And yeah funny thing is now in Ram you can either get a regular cab or crew, no extended where with Ford or Chevy you can get extended if you want. I guess Dodge likes to be different lol.

Yeah dodge always messing stuff up lol Those new ramchargers were only available in mexico but they didnt even compare to the old ones. My uncle had a 85 ramcharger had a granny gear and a 318 man that thing would go through anything.

That Ramcharger is pretty cool, but not as cool as the older ones. Especially since I read there was no 4wd option. It would have been cool to see something like a shortbed 2nd gen Ram with a redesigned back more like the old Ramcharger. I've never known anyone with a charger, just Broncos lol. And yeah a cummins would be awesome in that thing. Theres an 02 2nd gen (early 02 I guess) quad cab (regular quad cab) Ram 2500 V10 with 100,000 miles for sale locally for 4,000. But I really can't justify like 10 miles to the gallon for my needs.

Yeah I had a option to get a single cab 2500 v10 5 speed I kinda wish I would of how cool would a v10 5 speed be. I guess its pretty rare. But 10-12mpg isnt good tho Im getting like 1 mpg more in my truck.
