The only thing I'm not happy with is the lack of "tunability". I really want to put on a Kenne Bell supercharger but they stopped their testing due to that damn PCM.[:@]

I rated mine a 7....I like it alot...esp the laramie package I got....but I wish the damn mileage would be SOMEWHAT close to what they estimated. + I wish the dealer would have informed me that mine was coming with AWD because I would have built mine the same but with 2WD instead (still have 4X4 anyway)

but...other than that....No real problems...just little annoyances...but its definitely not a 10...(not even my M3 is a 10)....so I hafta say around 7. good power...nice ride...lots of room...i wish it was styled a little more up to date though.

Me too! Manufacturers need to start making more parts for our trucks.

I like my truck, but I dont know why changed the front end for the worse for 06. I really liked how the 02-05 Ram's bumper contured the front headlights. Powerwise, this is the most powerfull stock truck I have driven. If you took the torgue management away this thing would be a burnout king..

I have a 2004 2500 Ram w/ the laramie package. i have also added a flowmaster exaust, aftermarket headers, Ryno lining, super chips, 2" lift on the front end, and thinking about a supercharger for it. all and all i am very happy with it. i however may be getting rid of it for the R/T Challenger!

I ranked mine an 8 overall. I dropped one point for the simple fact that it has been in the shop and I still have the front end pop every now and then. I dropped another point because, well, nothing is perfect and there is always room for improvement.

Rated mine a 9, only because of the milage .....I knew it wasn't going to be great, but just wish it was a little better, getting about 11.8 to 12.2 on the highway, but I like speed so maybe its all my fault.

Default RE: How do you like your RAM HEMI?

Right after I made this little Poll, I gave mine a 10...I really love my truck! On the other hand, it is the only new vehicle I have ever owned, and my previous vehicle was a 1993 GMC Sierra, which I loved, until I got this Ram. I have done a few upgrades to my truck, I do not take any points away for gas milage, simply because gas burns quicker in our engines; AND you all have to admit that the cost of gas rising in the last few years all makes us hate our gas milage, I mean realistically if gas were still .99 cents a gallon as it was back when I was in high school, none of us would complain about it. Maybe I gave mine a 10 because it's only like the 6th vehicle I have ever really driven? All-in-all I think this truck is perfect for me, and I have had a lot of compliments on it, which I couldnt imagine getting with any other truck, except the SRT-10 or some truck that I might have fixed up and dumped a lot of money into for aesthetics.
