how does that work out?they got 25 more hp and 30 more lb-ft torque. i cant imagine that they weigh that much more over a ram because they look like the same size. its probably because of all that safety features they have. hey, who needs safety anyway

I bought mine used for a really good price and so far I am not dissapointed with the performance. It perfect as a daily commuter and for the occasional work a homeowner needs. I get about 17 mpg which isn't bad.
Being on the lower end of power it keeps me out of trouble

I paid $5900 for mine in October 08. Had 40 K miles and no rust. Super clean inside. Small ding above drivers side headlight (that has been removed using dentless system).
I have the original sales receipt for $24,000 in 05. They devalue quickly

I sold a Quad cab hemi (with 120K miles) and bought the V6. Why??? cause it was Cheap. Paid $12,047 Plus Tax and Lic. For a NEW 2008 Automatic 1500 ST, and it was Black (my color of choice).

bought it brand new, and it came as a work truck model (black grill and bumpers). had a little mall parking lot mishap, which left me with a dented bumper. Had my friend at the body shop fix the bumper and paint the rest to match(too bad he messed up on the color), and added the hood scoop at the same time. Bought the 20s off my friend who was getting his truck repod

getting a free chrome grill (whole assembly w/ bug deflector) thinking i might just take the bars out and use em with my red frame, but we'll see

i dont know about the chrome bumper. i like your truck right now with the front colored all the same. looks kind of sporty to me. you should have gottent the mirrors and the door handles painted too.
Do you know much it would be just to paint the mirrors, handles, and upper bumper cover?
