Damn sexy! I didnt know they had alum hoods.
Dodge finally after all these years figured out that weight kills performance & mileage?
Now if I could just figure out how to install one of those hoods on the Indy lol

You done good, the 3.92s are a tough find on the 4th Gens.

$26k seems to be the magic number. Went with a friend three weeks ago to help him get a good deal (he also had a 2nd Gen, but sold it privately). Truck stickered for $43k, had $32,995 on the windshield and we were able to get it down to $26k but that was before TT&T.

Only problem with that truck is it has 3.55 gears. Was not a 3.92 on the lot and there were more 3.21s then 3.55s...


People wonder why they can't get sh*t for a Dodge in trade? Hard for a dealer to pay top dollar for a trade in Dodge when new ones are being discounted $17,000 off the lot. This guy I went with really wanted a Furd, but Furd dealer wouldn't budge more than $4k off sticker.
That's actually NOT a good thing for Dodge or should I say RAM now. Furd is selling a LOT more trucks and obviously is making a TON more $ on each sale...

Indy, it's both a blessing and a curse. Great for performance, but should you get caught in a hail storm, you're SOL. Can't pop dents on Al like you can steel, but you know that.

Take a "different" dent guy who usually charges three times the normal rate to work with Al. LOL

I dunno about the undercoating. Brake calipers might get painted at some point, but I'm sure it will not be yellow. Probably one of my least favorite colors in this world. lol

Paint them red, then your truck would have Superman colors. Well it kinda already does anyway with the tail lights.

I will beat Purpl to it and state, on his behalf, that the brake calipers should be painted Hemi orange.

Laramie, get a high res shot of the side of your truck with the sun at your back so it'll light up the calipers and drums. I'll play with paint.net and test out some colors if you do.

True, but what the dealer doesn't tell you is that Fords are being returned more than any truck.
