Well I bought another truck today so I'm going to have let the Dodge go. She's been a great truck. Since I fixed the plenum gasket, hoses, and timing chain all I've done in the last 6 years is routine maintenance besides a wheel cylinder and alternator. She's been the most reliable truck I've had thus far. I appreciate all the help from you guys here and I'll still be around. My *new* truck is a 2002 crew cab 2500hd. 496 big block and Allison 5 spd. Hoping to buy a travel trailer in the future and figured I'd start by getting a truck that can pull just about anything lol

 

Well I think you managed to buy the only truck that will suck even more gas than the dodge!!!

 

What truck comes with an almost 500 cubic inch engine these days?????

 

A 496 is a stroked big block. Is this a carbed truck? Let's see some pics!

 

No it's not carb'd. GM made them from 01-07 or so. 8.1L with an Allison A1000. I'll try and get some pics in a bit. It's lifted 6" with 37's. Going to put some smaller tires on it before I start towing heavy.

 

Woohoo! Another GM convert! Welcome to the dark side....

 

We have one at work. A 01 model. It sucks so much fuel lol.

 

Sorry to see your truck go, but judging by your signature you seem to make plenty of good choices in automobile purchases, haha!

 

2 1/2 hour trip home used 3/4 tank lol. If the price of gas shoots back up I'm done!

 

Thanks! I'm not really brand loyal... As long as it's American .
