Default New guy here

Well i have been lurking here for about a week now and decided to post.

I have been a GM man for 20 some years now and decided i needed a change and wanted a Dodge.I stumbled on a mint 06 1500 Sport with the Hemi with 20k miles on it for a descent price so i nabbed it.All i can say is Wow,wish i had made the switch YEARS ago.The hemi power is awsome compared to the 327 my Sierra had in it.And handling is pretty sweet too.

Only thing i found wrong with it is the tie rod ends .Passenger side is whipped and the drivers side isnt far behind.It goes to the dealer monday for new ones.Is this a common thing for these trucks? Seems kinda low mileage for bad tie rod ends.

Any other known issues i should be looking for?

Heres a pic,the sun didnt help me out so ill try to get a better one for a sig sometime.

Welcome! Nice looking truck - I'm also a former GM-head (05 Caddie, 85 Transam, 72 GMC 4X4, 02 Saturn, etc) Used to despise Mopar (having owned a 72 Dodge Charger I had the right to) But I'm loving my RAM now.

The picture from the other side would have been great, low in the sky or in shade is always best.
