But honestly just keep your Dodge stewie... I've got the Dodge cummins longing now.... Wombat Ranger got me hooked, but the RAM 1500 is staying so no money right now...
Edit: I've also got the IDI Turbo longing as well...

those F250s are junk. For heavens sake, it's Triton gasoline!!!! That deserves to go into the WTF... They have more problems than our RAMs. Our RAM 5.9L Magnums have waaaay better MPGs than a Triton V8 and have more uptime... Our Magnum ran 7 yrs without ANY major repairs! And the neighbours triton v8s and v10s were in the shop EVERY month for some repair! one of those was a 350 as well.... WTF... Hardly could tow a gooseneck! Trust me, I've seen these tritons...
If you really want to get a heavy duty truck that isn't a Dodge, get a 1988-1991 Ford f250 or f350 with the 7.3IDI Turbo. At least it's more dependable and fuel efficient than THAT f250...

As stated before my mother bought a used '97 F250 5.4L Triton V8 4WD. Bought it with 186k+ on the clock, only thing we had to do was change the wheel bearings. Besides it being a gas hog it was a great truck.

My grandfather almost lost his business because of Mandriva. Installed it on clients business machine and all hell broke lose, cost him tons of money.
I really liked Mandrake 8, but it all went to hell after.
I recently dual booted my laptop with Mint Linux running KDE, it seems pretty nice. But the new KDE interface tries too much to look like Windows.

I wasn't even looking for Fords when I saw the ad, but I do like the truck. But not sure if we're getting a 4wd or a stupid little car for the wife.
If it's a car I'm already in talks with Merc225HP to choose a good locker for the rear, looking at the Detroit TrueTrac.. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/dtl-913a368
Might get to pimp out the Ram after all....
