thought the 5.9 diesel's are effectively discontinued and replaced with the 6.7 v8 diesel?

yeah, it's been known for quite a while..(well at least i've known about it) that Dodge was gonna have a diesel in the new 09's and also in the dakota & durangos...the diesel in the ram is gonna be a 4.6L (pretty sure) V8 and the one going in the daks & durango's is gonna be a 4.4L V6......fuel mileage of the diesel ram is expected to be quite good (this is not info from work, but from www.allpar.com) as for the hemi ram...from what i've heard is that it's gettin some sweet upgrades and will be very close to the same, if not, above the HP & Torque numbers of the tundra.....

yeah i'm wantin one...just wait till yall see whats under the truck

I just hope the interiors are improved. I trade trucks in often because of the miles I put on it. I will probably end up getting a truck around december or january.I will always stick with the cummins 3/4ton, or maybe a 1ton if I get a fiver. I put about 6,000 miles on my truck and like the insides to be nice. Dodges interior pretty much sucks. There leather is cheap, the dash doesnt have anything special. They need to catch up to ford on the interior something serious.

No thanks, I like what I have.

I'll start lookin around when the time comes. If I did it today, it'd be a Tundra 5.7.

I try to keep my money in my account, not some creditor's.

Seriously, if you don't outright your own house (no mortgage), all your vehicles, etc, you should not be financing newer vehicles. Taking things on credit is the freakin worst thing that you could do with your money. If you can't just pay for it, you can't afford it, because it will bite you down the road.

Do the numbers!!! You pay a credit company a percentage of your payment every time. Why the hell give it to them?

Ok, class dismissed.

we had a Jeep Wrangler come in today that was (2) Jeep 4-doors that had been chopped in half and welded back together. So it had a nice wheelbase on it, lifted with 37" GY Wrangler MT/R tires, 4 speed t-case, and the best part........a 6.1L Hemi under the hood let's just say this....when i saw it i thought i had died and gone to heaven lol
