The jesus fish on the front adds a ton of coolness.

Just don't be tempted to park in a handicap spot with those plates. If you are not the one that is handicaped you will get gramps in a world of trouble.

Recommend the alignent be checked. Not just the front, as they often do with vehicles that are only aligneable (I know it's not a real word) in the front. Mine acts funny, I know it's something in the rear). I worked there, so they did a 4 wheel alignment, even though I was SOL on the rear.

dude, if you do it right you get better than 12.5 out of these trucks... seriously do some homework and take care of the vehicle. I get better than that with a 4x4 and a full load.

neways, nice truck looks like mine but lower glad you had a good trip, and yes check the 4 wheel alignment, often these shops dont care about the rear and if something has broken or slipped, can make the truck crab-walk down the road, killing steering (and parts) and milage.

smaller would help around town tho cause theyll turn easier, but yeah for highway you want bigger.......



heres the prob with the steering, when the wheel is straight or alittle to either side it feels like it is really tight and has no PS but once you turn it alittle it kinda breaks free and feels great, so when goin down the highway it kinda has a memory in the middle.....my guess is something is wore out and binding.......he said that he took it to the dealer and they said that all 2nd gen dodges feel like that cause of a valve in the pump but thats BS cause mine is smooth and easy thruout
