He just brought my truck to work. He didn't replace the o2 sensor because he said the other one was fine.

It sure sounds freakin good!

If any of you guys are interested in Autolite plugs and a NTK front o2 sensor, i'll sell them.

Well I have different plugs and don't need the o2 sensor at the moment.

Might as well try to get some money back for when the atv drags come up.

But I just replaced all 4 shocks with Hydro 7000s and when I push my rear down and it comes back up, it'll bounce alittle. Is it supposed to do that? I know them shocks firmed up my ride since my stock shocks were shot, but didn't know if they're supposed to do that.

^^^ general rule of thumb is it should bounce 1.5 times.

git both heads off the caravan and have started the cleaning process. if I had a way to check the heads I could be putting it back together today. but I need to take the heads to a machine shop and have them pressure checked and sprobably decked, damn aluminum heads.

there's car shows like that down here in florida, every month on the 2nd Saturday there's a classic car show in a town nearby. none of those are as good as the Turkey Rod Run at Daytona every year. I'm definitely going to that

What a joke. Almost 1300lbs less than the Hemi V8.

Bout all that Diesel is gonna be good for is gas mileage, IF it's any good at that....

It's a gimmick, unless it can get 30+mpg it's gonna fail,

Also, word on the block at the dealership is Chrysler/fiat is going to phase out the dodge brand in the coming years. Going to just be Chrysler, ram, jeep, and SRT

Not that I'd EVER consider buying one, but that's really pretty impressive for only 3.0L of displacement. But yeah, I think it's gonna be another epic failure for the company. Now if they brought the Dak back with that engine - maybe...

haven't they been advertising the new ram 1500's getting 36mpg or something like that? i don't ever see one getting that type of mileage unless it had a diesel in it.
