That is freakin awesome. So did that truck have the new coil over suspension in the rear or was it still on leafs? Oh and when ya swing back through we'll have grab lunch. Or dinner or even breakfast depending on when you roll through.
Eaton.... Well, a good chunk of our trip was on 70 which from there we took 271 to get where we were going...
Pending work, I'll be going back up there with him to get the car and if I do I'll have to drop ya a line.
And yea, after spending 36 hours in that truck both riding and driving, I intend to own a truck a lot like that one. The passing power of that truck was amazing. Even with a load on it like there was, there was no problem swinging out and passing.
My favorite thing about the truck is funny really. It's not the looks, it's not the power, it's the seats. I know a lot of 2nd gen guys don't have leather in their trucks, but I do. When I first had my ram, it was not uncommon to hop in it and drive 400-500 miles to pick up inventory for our companies. In the winter it wasn't so bad, but in the summer, your sweat would just be a pain in the *** after you had sat in the seat for hours. It's part of the reason many people don't like leather. The new rams have perforated leather seats with fans in the back and the bottom of the seat.
No more swamp *** from the leather. That was pretty cool I thought.

Got a ticket for rolling through a stop sign, me and a friend were in the truck and they had the guns drawn and made us put our hands out the window, he shut the truck off and set the keys on the roof then had me close the door and walked away about 100 seconds after that alarm started blaring and I didnt know where the keys were to shut it off, what a night
Heh. I can't remember what time we rolled through there. I want to say it was around 11-12pm but after we made that run non stop save for the bathroom breaks.
Yea, fyi, we had a 10 and an 11 year old girls with us. Unless they were sleeping, we didn't get more than 100 miles in and two of the stops were 45 miles apart.
I DO remember running through Dayton. I was driving then.
