I just think you can't judge the performance of your rams until you do a couple upgrades to them. I think you would be impressed.YOU ONLY HAVE A FEW SMALL MODS ABOVE MY TRUCK, I HAVE THE SAME INTAKE AS YOU, AND I HAVE GUTTED MY CAT.
It's obviously not your bag though. I'm sure you cannot really afford to put any money into that blue dodge seeing you have a brand new tundra. I HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY I COULD SPEND ON IT, BUT WHY WAIST MY MONEY??? IT DOES WHAT I NEED IT TO DO AND DOES IT WELL.
I just don't see why you think you can judge the 5.9 if you don't know what it's like with the modifications I have done?ALL YOU HAVE IS AN INTAKE AND AN EXHAUST, THATS SIMPLE MODS NOTHING MAJOR.
You also have to remember that even though I have 35" tires, it's the same 5.9 engine in your 2500 that I have in a 1500 frame, which is lighter. I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THOSE TIRES IM SURE DESTROY ANY POWER GAINS YOU HAVE GOTTEN FORM THE SIMPLE MODS YOU HAVE DONE.SO YOUR BACK TO STOCK PERFORMANCE IM SURE. ALSO MY BLUE TRUCK IS A 5-SPEED THE MANUALS MAKE MORE POWER THEN THE AUTOMATICS DO.
I know you like your rams, but you obviously didn't like them enough to avoid buying a 3rd truck. I understand the quality of having a smooth ride and not having to worry about the baggage of banging around everywhere you go,I BOUGHT THE TUNDRA BECAUSE I CAN. I WANTED A NICE SMOOTH TRUCK WITH GREAT TOWING POWER FOR OUR CAMPER. ALSO I DONT FEEL LIKE DAILY DRIVING A 10 YEAR OLD TRUCK IF I DONT HAVE TO.
I'M HAPPY YOU LIKE YOUR TRUCK AS ITS A NICE TRUCK FOR AN 18 YEAR OLD, BUT WHEN YOU GET OLDER YOU'LL UNDERSTAND THE BEAUTY OF A NICE NEW SMOOTH CAR/TRUCK. YOUR NOT GONNA WANNA KEEP THAT RAM FOREVER TRUST ME.

Nice for an 18 year old? It's a nice truck period. My truck sees more double takes from the public in one day than that boring boat tundra will in it's entire lifetime. I've figured you out. Your just a daddy's boy little brat who has 3 trucks at his disposal. Later ***boy.

RE: Goodbye Ugly Tailgate Plastic
lol im not some spoiled little rich kid, i went into the military out of high school, did that for 4 years saved a bunch of money and started a landscaping business with my brother. we currently have 2 crews with 4 workers, i run one crew my brother runs the other. we do very well for our selves and thats why i can afford to but a new truck. i didn't get it from my parents.
Also i dont care if you make fun of the tundra that wont hurt my feelings i didnt buy it for the looks i bought it to be comfy,tow a camper and haul some people around.
And technically i have 5 trucks at my disposal. i own a chevy dump and a ford dump.

Mm that sounds fun. I love landscaping work. I'm more into the excavation seen myself, but naturally with excavation sites, you need landscaping skills to clean the site up. It's what me and my brother do as well, but it's not our primary source of income. I mostly do direct care with mentally handicapped clients, but we managed to sneak in what we all love to do. Every year we build one or two homes to house more clients in, so we do all of the excavation and landscaping work. We used to do the housing, but now since the company has expanded so fast, we have to hire out a lot of the frame work to get done faster. That's where I'm in heaven, being on the job site. I just love the smell of diesel pouring out of an excavator. How many houses/businesses are you currently landscaping for?

That is awesome. You are lucky you have found a consistent niche in that field. I would love to just go off and do that fulltime with my brother and our trucks, but I'm tied to the family business. I just love hitching up a big trailer to a truck and going job to job. I really pride myself off taking pride in that kind of work, it's really fun stuff. Sounds like you have a very nice business, glad to hear it. The ram sure does look good with a load on her too.
