man that is a tough call. If it had a hemi I would say hell yeah! I just am not completely feeling these new trucks yet. Don't get me wrong I have seen some heavily modded trucks that look awesome, but I am not diggin it...yet!

With that being said! If you like this new truck better than yours, then go for it, it looks like a really clean truck, and seams like a pretty good price for a new truck. Mileage is a lil high, but if you don't drive much you can get that in line. So hey it is up to you man! LOL how is that for dancing around a subject!

EDIT: I just noticed in the picture of the rear, passenger side on the bumper above the exhaust, it is staining the bumper. Something is wrong if a gas motor that new is burning that rich to stain the bumper. it might have something to do with why he traded it so soon!

 

I think the new Rams that are crew cab look like they have a stumpy bed because the cab is so long. I'm more a fan of the quad cabs in the new Rams.

SMKN, I'll have a report for you after I get the air gap installed and run a tank or two of gas through my truck. I remember you asking about them and I ordered one the other day.
I took my throttle body off to put a modified one on there and noticed a puddle in the intake and it made me mad enough to order the air gap because I just changed that gasket a few months ago. zman told me that it was from the PCV valve (and he knows his way around a motor pretty good), but it seems like too much oil for it to be just from that in just a few thousand miles.

 

sounds good man! but my MODS have been put on hold!! My ex-wife is stirring up a bunch of **** and I just had to shell out more on an attorney than I was planning on spending on the truck! On top of that my daughter is getting married in a week and a half! Man this summer is gonna SUCK!!! I had big plans for the truck this summer too!

 

The only thing I hate about the thought of buying a new truck is I would get about the same mpg as my 13 year old Petty which still runs great and looks good AND is paid for. It's always been easier for me to trade something I owe money on then what I own free and clear...

 

[QUOTE=VEETEN;2157509]Well the lady said that I was under 6000# so I got the standard passenger plate she said weighted start at 7000# if I would like that, or could go higher.
Needless to say I was a bit confused.
My registration says shipping weight is 5586# is this the tare weight of my truck?
I guess I can't have more that 2 people in my truck LOL

FK I wonder if you're 06 is listed as over 6000 "Shipping weight"...Check it out and let me know.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say my Quad cab 4wd 488 is heavier than the average dodge here...Not exactly a light duty version..
(Maybe Meanwhite mopar has me beat with the weight of his suspension/tires..) LOL
I'm still confused.
As long as I figure it out by next June.
Thanks guys

Oh yeah it was $51.60 for my plates.....WTF[/QUOTE

well i saw this and had to chime in.. lol my truck stock weighed 6400 shipping. with that said, i have regular tags. since i put the lift, and everything else heavier then stock in this thing.. i have no idea what this truck weights.. i know my tires are about 55lbs a peice. and i added alot of stuff... lol i have gone to the junk yard with a bed load of steel and bull****, and they wieghed me in at 9400 when i was stock in NY.. so 10K isnt that far out of reach... that was with me and one other person in the truck..

i dont know anything about weighted plates, but has anyone maybe googled it? ncdot.gov?

 

but on a lighter not.. we all need to go get muddy around the j-ville/ moorehead/ havelock area.. i still have not met any of you guys and i think it is what will bring this club together..

or maybe just a meet and great at like hooters or something.. show of some of the truck.. somethin..

but it is going to get out sooner or later.. everyone will be sad, i just about totaled the truck.. i rolled it to its side. broke my mirror, rear window, dented the fenderm passengers door, rear door, and the rest of the bed.. so im lookin for a new set of panels if anyone can ask around if they are gettin rid of some of these... mainly a bed for cheap... i dont really care what color.. i can find someone to help paint.. this will be my next on going project. fix all the dents in the truck.. and get it repainted.
