Default new to DF... have a 2002 Ram 4x4 quad cab and a 71 Dodge Dart :)

for the last 2 years I've been restifying a 71 Dodge Dart (Curious Yellow original color)... just put in a new 360 with headers, cam, edelbrock intake and carb, built 904 trans, 8 3/4" rear end with Sure grip and 3.55 gears... etc etc.

2 days ago I bought an '02 Ram quad cab 4x4 with 51k miles, fully loaded.. leather, heated seats, woodgrain dash, dual climate control, Infinity sound, etc etc... so far, I'm happy with it.. but the gas mileage is HORRIBLE .. .12mpg and I'm going VERRRRRY easy on the gas to see how good I can get the mileage...

The only other thing I don't like about it is the stupid 20" rims .. they don't look right on a 4wd..

ah well..


Anyways.. I've noticed that you can't use the 'back' button on this site after you've read a thread.. anyone else have this problem?

I don't know why, but this is the only site that does it for me too, and I have fire *** too.

I feel your pain. It's ridiculous and I hope Dodge does something about it on the 06' model... Welcome to DF, Enjoy your stay and your complimentary gift basket

you can check out my progress on www.geckosites.com .. click on the link on the left for my 71 Dart.. then you can click the link for "current progress" photos... it's chronological order from 2 years ago when I bought it (starting at the top), through last month when I started it with the new engine at the bottom of the page..
