I traded my '04 Hemi QC for an '06 CTD.

The 04.5 and newer have some awesome power. I've taken 1 mustang, 1 camero, 2 F150's, 2 Chevy's (Chevy/GMC) and 2 Hemi's!

Now I must admit I do have a few mods (flow through exhaust, drop in K&N, and of course a Bully Dog programmer set at the economy/tow setting -xtra 60HP) but all told these things rock!

No it's not a Hemi but it will run for 250K + miles and still be worth something. I had 31K on my Hemi and took a beating!

I say go with a CTD add a couple hundred in mods and youll be the olne to beat.

Also of note: I dont know about you but I got 15.5 (best) in my Hemi and if I put my foot in its rear I got as low as 11.7.

Now unloaded I get 21.9 (best) highway and 17 city. Average at 18.5 - 19.5. Awesome for a 7500 lbs. truck.

Just my 2 cents worth from a former Hemi owner.

 

you could get much more money for your phisical damages than from the truck, anyway I hope you are OK.

 

YAY! the HEMI has risen from the dead, the adjuster called earlyer today. 11K of damage but fixable and there are going ahead with the work... wont have it back til august 4th

As for my injuries im not to bad, alot of vertabrai (spelling) out of place and a possible herniated spine, if this is true then a law suite is on the cards.

I'm just happy my truck is alive

 

Find the best possible spine doctor to look at your back. That is no injury to ignore. It has been stated in numerous Spine journal articles that success in rehabilitation from a spine injury has a massive correlation with the skill/experience of the surgeon/doctor you see.

If you want to send me an email with the location you live in I can find out who is good in your area.

 

I got the best guy in town, also helps being friends with him, hes also put me in touch with the best MRI centre etc to get everything checked out, well i hope so any ways.
