Finally convinced the wife to let me purchase a truck. I've been watching diesel trucks for the last couple months but couldn't bring myself to buy a truck when fuel was nearing $5/gallon. Now with diesel at $4.20/gallon and Ram prices still relatively low, I finally pulled the trigger. I bought it two weeks ago but have been too busy to make a post. I'm absolutely amazed that the Cummins can get a 8,000 pound truck moving this well and still deliver 20MPG. My old daily driver was a supercharged Cobra which has a lot of horsepower but relatively low torque, this thing is a completely different animal. I just got back from doing some offroading and it did surprisingly well for such a large truck. I put it in 4 Wheel-Low in first gear and just let the truck claw it's way up the hills.
