Default Redneck Ram is No More

$1.93 a gallon gas prices have made me trade in the Redenck Ram on a Magnum. Driving back and forth to work getting 11mpg was draining me. Got the 3.5L V6 for the 19mpg. Drove about 75 mile and the gas needle barely moved, compared to using an 1/4 tank. Since this is my last winter here in Omaha, it was another factor. One thing I learned though is that the slowpokes dont get outta my way as easy anymore, hahaha. I will keep a link to the flowmaster soundfile up on my web area under a pic in my gallery. Soooo I will be mostly in the Magnum forum, but cheking in everyonce in awhile. Well guys, Keep on truckin!

My wife hates those things and I think they look so sweet. Congrats. I wish you would have gotten the Hemi, but I understand. It's still awesome!

Hmm I don't think I could ever downgrade. It doesn't look like it would do well off-road.

Ya know i think the magnum is a man thing. I have yet to see a lady that likes the look of it. G/f's 14 year old asked the silly question about putting big tires and spinners and crap like that on it. Silly Silly boy hahahaha.

The closest thing i would do off-roading was the snow here in omaha. Just not feesible to keep a 11-12 mpg gas hawg for 2 months use. Just did a fill up and got 21mpg and that is driving it pretty hard. Even with the 3.5L it hauls pretty quick. I can put the cruise on 70 and the thing don't downshift, where as the truck would DS at the slightest hill. Insurance is $50 less a month. With the $1.93 gas, the gas savings alone is worth it. Loved the truck, but being military just can't afford it. Funny thing at the dealership, I had them reprogam so that the lights don't stay on after getting out at night. A father and a 8ish year old son was standing as the Mag came up front. Das asked what you think about that? The son said it looks like a Spaceage Hearst hahahhha. Well guys KOT!(keep on truckin)
