I own the same truck, if you want to run this truck in the city, buy a 4 banger, truck is geared verry low, awsome power on the high way I can get as high as 18 mpg 60 mph using mid grade on flat ground, towing and 70+mph eat flue.

The hemi is a great power plant, the 6sp man is built soild ( 3 versions) I converted my truck to true daul ex.

down side is the 16 copper plugs that have a verry short life span and the drive train, stearing and front suepension pressent a lot of issues you may want to stay away from.

If your looking for a work truck, the hemi with 6sp man is the best aspect of this package, but I caution you to inspect inspect inspect non servicable items that fail, uJoints on all drive axles, ball joints, tie rods ( have pic in my album)

Glad to see anothier hemi man owner as automtaics are for every one.
