I drove it with a light foot, If I drove it hard it would be around 14. When we bought our truck at the time, the dealer told us the Hemi was only in the 3/4 ton, It might have been BS to make a sale.

Ignore the Hemi badges on the fenders. It is in fact a 2002 5.9. And trust me when i say this truck is mint. This truck is cleaner than some trucks that are a few months old. There is not a single mark,ding or scratch on the bodywork. The dealer i bought it from said that he brought over to the U.K from Virginia. I have drove it as well,and it pulls way,way better than my previous 5.9 2nd Gen Ram. I cant wait to pick it up in the morning. I have had some vehicles in my time.Jaguars, Corvettes,Range Rovers.BMW,s TVR,s. But i can honestly say its the only vehicle i'm excited about collecting. By the way the Hemi badges were put on by the dealer,as they were laying around the workshop.

One last thing. Does anyone know if there is a thread detailing how you can colour code the light bezels??.

thats weird why does it have a hemi decal if its the 5.9 liter ??

- 1st thing get the sct or superchips it woke the 5.9 up big time felt like a new truck with new found power.

-also 5.9 sound nasty with a exhaust and highflow cat, cutout if you want it really loud lol

-1.7 harland sharps,fastman help for the low rpm powerband

what gears with it ?? good luck with the new truck and good luck dodge all the way

The dealer had the Hemi decals laying around the workshop,so he stuck them on the truck.

I'm thinking that this may have had some engine mods done already as it is in another world compared to my previous 2nd Gen Ram.
