Default took 2 co-workers for a ride today...

one of which is already a dodge 1500 owner and the other is looking to get a diesel (ford or chevy). Had to show him the light... took it out onto the freeway where I could open it up without the tranny slipping... put the powermax on 2/4 and let er rip... needless to say both were very impressed... I showed him (buyer) the overhead comp and it read 19.3... his expression was nothing short of "wow cant believe it" ... then I clued him in that it was 3.5 mpg off. he was still impressed. I let him know that I figure that if the tires/wheels were stockers, it'd be getting 18~19 regularly. time will tell to see what he drives up in...

does he know about the other sites for ford and chevy??? I would let him scan through all the sites for all three and then let him decide.

I told him to go do the research on the fords/chevy's/dodges on the forums and see what kind of problems they all have. I did before getting mine and found the forums were full of people trying to solve their problems... didnt find that on any dodge site. there are a few here or there on the dodge sites but nothing like what I found on the furd/cheby's...

Yeah .... I knew you'd dig that one.

That dodge RIPPING the ford down the track was amazing. The ford never had a chance !! That guy who was doing the burnouts all through his shop area was INSANE !! Did you see him almost hit the gas pump ( I think that's what it was ) ? He is NUTS !!!
