I Bought It After Sellin' My Jeep In Sole Hopes Of Makin' It My Good gas Mileage Hauler... Dealer Stated 20MPG Highway Back In 05'.... I Bet I Couldn't Do That Downhill! I Have A 22' 2001 Mallard Camper, A 28' Snowmobile/ Race Trailer For The Porsche 944T.

To Be Totally Honest... I Hated My Ram After I Bought It. I Ended Up Using The 02' Avalanche 2500 8.1L For My Hauler, And It Was A Lot Quicker. I Will Give DF Full Credit For Helpin' Me Fall Back In Love With My Truck. It Still Is Not The Primary Hauler.. The 08' Harley Davidson 250 SDD Now Has That Job. But Because of You Guys.. I Wouldn't Have It Anyother Way.

Until The 09' CTD Comes Out LoL

I Now Love My Truck... I Bought It Brand New In 05' and Just Rolled 24,000 Miles This Weekend

mine was a divorce present to myself,I traded in my 03 qc s-10, i got mine just for looks(it's an 06NR), i was looking into SUV's. i just wanted something to tow my bike trailer and haul at least 3 adults comfortably. but once i saw heri knew that as far as i was concerened she was all i needed in a vehicle, looks, power, a little lacking in daily driving but for it's size it doesnt matter. I think she's an excellent representation of my personality, alot of show and plenty of go to back it up

What's so great about the Avalanche performance wise? Just curious. MT has the 8.1L listed at 340 hp with an 8.8 0-60. The Hemi has 345 with a 0-60 of 8.3? Plus with basic mods I know you can get the Hemi down to 6.5.

I bought mine for a daily driver and I am 38. Are you guys freaking kidding me? I fail to understand this I am x age but in January I will be X age. So in other words you are your current age until your next birthday which you will be one year older, thanks for clarifying.

Sobo: In My Experiance... When I Bought It, It Was A Dog. But Unlike Most Tuners I Have Had - After All The Emission Crap Was Bypassed and Switched To 93 Octane.. ItWas, and Still IsA Raped Ape.

Redram05baby, I see. Well, good stuff. I'm still waiting on a new Silverado SS. I'm hoping that thing screams like a banshee like the SRT-8 GC. The SRT-8 is just too small... and I still need to be able to tow.

The rims are black chrome(the covers are at least) and i think she's sexy as all get out. Like i said i fell with her the moment i laid eyes on her, then there was a lot of touching and pawing involved and you guys know what happens after that, i went 30 grand in debt. but like all great relationships, i think it was worth it, and hey i thought i should treat myself to a nice truck, just having gone through my first divorce and all that, i already got the bike so maybe the next time will be jetski...
