Been seeing a lot of decent 1st gen Cummins trucks. All 2WD. one 1 ton and 3/4 ton are especially nice.

My question is how did they get that stuff up that high...it's almost 8 feet over the roof of the truck.

very very carefully. that is why i don't understand why people want to get there truck sitting level. that truck is clearly overloaded but hardly noticeable other than the pile of crap in the box.

I don't get it either. The people that want their trucks leveled obviously have never hauled anything or don't have the intention of hauling anything that weighs more than 200lbs.

i have had the box of my 81 loaded full of dirt before and it sat about the same as that truck. pretty much sat level but looked a bit like a lowrider.

I always wonder how much weight I can put in the 76 before it squats. lol

I can jump on the tailgate and the truck barely moves. And it rides like it too.

So it looks like the 6.4L Hemi going into the '14 Rams is "specially" designed for truck use, and will only put out 410HP, which isn't much more than the 5.7L.

The 2013 5.7L puts out 395Hp and 407lb-ft of torque.
The 2014 6.4L (Ram) puts out 410HP and 429lb-ft of torque.

What a joke.

The 6.4L SRT8 puts out 470/470....
