i guess it depends on how long the trip to work is. almost sounds like you might need a small cheap car to do your running around so you can enjoy driving a truck when you don't need great gas mileage. i know i pretty much use my ramcharger for doing all my hiway driving and my 81 for all the in town stuff and i can go about 3 weeks without fueling either of them up but i only put about 560miles on them in that 3 weeks.

 

I drive about 500 miles a WEEK. I need a cummins.

 

at 500 miles a week i think you would need a car. i just don't think a cummins would get the type of mileage you would need to save much money. now if you do buy a cummins you should look for a first gen one with a overdrive transmission. then you could get about 27mpg. the ones without overdrive are also pretty good getting 20-27mpg depending on how you drive it but it is a lot easier with overdrive.

Damm, that's some pretty nasty carnage there. sorry bout ur bad luck there. But..... -1 for xcase, +1 for loctite.

 

Lol yea the loc tite did its job for sure.. Everything else fell apart.. My commute to work is only 4 miles there and back lol. Ramcharger is gonna be getting finished soon and ill be able to drive that. Till then im gonna drive the Hemi around till i get bored with it haha.

 

that is a very short commute. you could pretty much bicycle that commute.

 

Yea i could. But i dont see that going to well come winter time

 

i use to do it all the time. my bike has about as much rust on it as my truck does just from all the salt they put down but i guess you could just bike to work on the warm sunny days. it could save you a bit of money.

 

Sell the '00 Ram, drive the ramcharger for a while, save your money.

 

Yea im still tossing around ideas.. ramcharger is staying for sure
