I got the 1500 Mega Cab..... yes it does lean a bit more to right and left ....

In addition Ive noted other stuff

1. I believe that the Hemi stall problem is still there. The engine runs rough at idle some times. Will have to keep an eye on that.
2. Shifting seat problem still there.
3. That new cloth isnt the best. Seen on brothers F150 that when it gets wet it stains.
4. Believe that this truck should have came with at least 3.92's. My 05 QC had that ratio. Ofcourse there is more weight here, but I need to mash down on the gas pedal to get over some hills. Not a real big issue, but in this case I think 3.92's would have helped here not hurt.
5. I liked the cup holder hidden away. The console on the floor make the ol' ball and chain uncomfortable when she sitting close to me.

Gas mileage ... cant really tell right now. First tank ... let the wifey drive and she really likes that Hemi .... only got 423 miles out of the first tank ... filled her up again. Just hit 3/4's with 102 miles on it which means to me that when broken in, it wont be too much worse than my 05 QC 5.7L. However, the book does say that 89 octane is recommended.

Are you talking about when I get in I can hear something that sounds like the seat isnt bolted down right, but it doesnt seem to shake at all, just makes that noise when I get in.

i too have noticed that truck idles poorly sometimes, especially when i have bought gas from questionable gas stations and its on the last eighth of the tank. It does start knocking a little. I've learned though, to buy premium or mid-grade+octane booster and then everything is okay. I love my truck and i always will so i'm more than willing to pay for premium or the addtional $2.75 for a can of octane booster.
