I'd rather not have to change a head gasket

Back to topic:

Enjoy your purchase Drew!

 

The Hemi isn't too bad to change the plugs, just the rear two and you can use the old cut piece of garden hose to get to those without having to remove anything drastic.

Yep Drew, you pretty much nailed the only 6.4 issues I've heard about. Unlike the 6.0 where almost everyone I know who has/had one has had major head issues.

Good luck with it...

 

Believe it or not, pulling the cab isn't a big deal.. minimal connections to it, and even the brake lines have quick disconnects..

The interior is cavernous.. and its loaded with gadgets it will take me years to figure out how to use.. that's my biggest concern... I know my dodge inside and out, while I know nothing about diesels.. I'll learn, though..

The dft delete and egr delete are the two biggest items to address.. gone, and with the addition of a 4 or 5" down pipe to tip replacement, they are ridiculously powerful and reliable engines.. and get 20+mpg hwy and 15+ cty mileage.. with those same mods, which require a tuner, you can lay 500 to the terra and over 1k twisties... 12 second quarters.. under $2k in mods.. hell, I've put over ten on the dodge in total mods.. I'll never ever need nor want that much power, but if I do I can program on the fly and get it.. Yup.. driving down the hwy I can hit the button and change all grades of stuffs..

I LOVE the idea of rpm cruise, pyro cruise, vacuum/boost cruise, or regular cruise.. if I use the eco tune, and the pyro cruise, unloaded, and the pretty much all I need to invest tune package of $2k, I'll see 25ish mpg and should get 300k out of it before I turn a bolt.. that is win win in my book..

 

LOL you can't be calling me that on a public forum!!!

 

So did you purchase the Ford yet?

 

You got a powerjoke?!



shoulda got a cummins...

 

I purchased it, but don't have possession.. credit union has a stupid new policy that the title has to be transfered before they give up keys.. its sitting in a parking lot about a mile from me, and driving me crazy...

 

^ Debt? Bad.

 

My buddy owed more in it than I paid, so he had to pay difference.. but there is no issue with that.. my credit unions new policy is that person to person sales require possession of vehicle until the title is issued in my name, but with them listed as lien holder.. its a stupid policy, and because both of us signed power of attorney for the banks to sign for the transfer... Then, I have to register it, too, before they give up the keys..

My wife is an attorney, and believes they are within their legal rights.. I would SO walk away from these clowns if it wasn't a not for 1.7%apr and for six years.. the closest offer otherwise was 3.34% over five... So, I want the truck, I gotta play their stupid game.. its killing me waiting!!!

 

Have you sold the Ram yet?
