not the SRT-10 Ram...too expensive to fix! They are expensive but not killer...but I wouldn't mind having about 350-400 horsepower to the wheels instead of 230....lol

Your not even getting 230 to the wheels, your about 180-190.

Question I am the only Mopar Man?

Ya'll bring up a good point though...I have been a Dodge man all my life, but all my friends either roll GM/Chevy or Ford. I don't have one Doge guy to hang with! Am I the only one with this problem? Hey Georgia boys, lets get together for a cruise! Southern PRIDE

None of my friends own Chrysler products.

My grandfather went from a 1st Gen Ram with the Cummins to a 2004 F150, and now my grandmother drives a 2009 F150 and he drives an early '90s F150. He thinks the 2009 has some *****... I won't shatter his bubble.

My uncle drives a 2008 or 2009 GMC 2500 with the bigger V8. His son, my cousin, drives a mid-2000s 2500 GMC with the bigger V8.

My other uncle drives a 1998 or so Ram 2500 CTD. He must like it, had that truck since it was only a year or two old.

My last uncle is a Honda kind of guy... suckerin' rich people anyway.

Dad drives a 1994 Dakota, mother drives a 2005 300C... she loves the Hemi in that car.

Overall, through my family, I've got a splattering of almost everything. I like Dodge. But to each their own I suppose.

A. That would be the 40 mph tailwind you feel. Sorry son, it will take more than a couple bolt ons...better you learn that now.
B. You can find 30 rams at your nearest Chrysler convention or maybe Dodge show. But you'll have to google those. I believe DF was doing a meet and greet at the next CCCC?

There were probably a bunch of Rams at the Lima show.

I test drove a 2004 Ford 250 Harley Davidson edition with the turbo diesel ford has. I was romping on the gas and never felt the turbo kick in through out the entire RPM range, never felt the uber torque they claim and was all together un-impressed with the whole thing. Recently drove my dads f150 and had the same experience. I take the Ram any day over any other truck sloppy tranny under sized gears and all. Hell, the ram looks better than any thing I have seen.

I did have fun going WOT past the sales dude in my Ram, flowmaster screaming like a banchee, showing what a real truck sounds like and performs like.
