Problem with Autozone and other retail part store chains is that they'll hire any jerk off that wants a job. I worked for them for three years, I lucked out on finding work at the best store in that district. In other words, every employee in that store had a good grasp on car mechanics and troubleshooting.

Sadly, stores like that aren't around much anymore.

lol What, headers/hi-flo cat/cat-back isn't good enough?

It actually doesn't sound that bad in person, but it used to sound better when it had a cam in it. I think the packing in the SLP muffler is going bad though. I'd like to put another cam in it, and change the muffler and tips, but it all takes money. Money I don't have right now. I need new wheels and tires too, and I'm going to school full time.

Had to be done man. The car was fantastic but, given my position now, it had to go. The stars aligned on this and I got a great deal on it. Purchased with 3 miles on the clock.

They are good vehicles, the hemi is nice and the newer rams seem to be good quality. I'm just curious, why did you choose to go with a dodge though? I have nothing against them but I personally like GM cars myself.

bricooper78 02-21-2014 08:34 PM

Just about brought a black one of those home myself Tip, pretty nice truck!

tipnitty 02-21-2014 08:40 PM

I wanted to go with a cummins or a silverado. But after driving a cummins I knew it wasn't what I needed. So I drove this Hemi and liked almost everything about it. The quality of the interior Felt fantastic and the actual experience driving the car was more agile than the honda ever was. I had a great time driving the truck even though it wasn't a manual. So I went to drive a silverado. The silverados were nice, they were expensive and I couldn't get the additions I wanted for the monthly payment I was comfortable with. Dodge worked with me a lot more and game me a great discount and trade in for the honda. I didn't want to buy a truck so soon. But they had this gem just calling my name with a lot of rebates. So I pulled the trigger. I will be refinancing after 6 months to knock my payment down another 60 a month after I build more credit.

I went with the 2wd truck for the simple fact that I'm not going to be mudding the truck or going to any extreme level. I needed something that was better for the back roads and more rugged. When I'm at work I get covered in mud and oil and I didn't want to be throwing that in the trunk of G8 GT. I decided this suited my needs to exactly what I needed and was the exact look I was going for. White/Chrome with 20s. This has the new 8spd transmission in it as well. So the first 3 gears, it shifts and lot and it does have some good get up and go.

Another thing I damn near fell in love with, was the information center and cluster. You can set it up any way you want. The touch screen controls every thing. I went with the premium front bucket seats that are heated and all power. The center console has a usb charging port, usb sync, aux jack, and an sd slot. It also has a 110v dash outlet for charging a laptop if necessary. Very cool. Another thing that is rather cook is the shifter. It's weird, but I think its awesome.

Dodge has some pretty nice features available on their trucks now. I like the optional storage compartments in the bed rails, and the one on the floor inside. The air suspension they offer is a really nice feature too, and the new 8 spd trans is supposed to be nice and help out with gas mileage quite a bit. Supposedly they have a new V6 turbo diesel out now too I think?

Yeah I heard about that. I forgot what it's called, but it was out of my range and more that I needed. I wanted the ram rails, as those compartments are called, but was a $1000 feature and they would have ordered my truck. I wouldn't have been able to get the options I have on this one. So in the end, I got a better truck with out the bed storage, as awesome as that storage is. The 8 speed is quite the new thing, and I'm getting used to it. Lots and lots of shifting lol. But you can get about 20 mpg around town once you get accustomed to it.

Pontiac_guy99 02-21-2014 09:21 PM

Ok I learned my lesson about starting new threads, so here is the question.
Should I:
1. have my current spoiler repainted
2. Get an already black SC/T
3. Or leave my current spoiler and save for leather.

bricooper78 02-21-2014 09:28 PM

1st off its the effing internet, there are NO RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

you can start a thread and put up an option to vote on the choices if you so wish, don't listen to the douches.


black sc/t

Yes. They have a 1500 diesel coming out soon. First company to make a 1500 diesel I believe..


Nice purchase tip. Im a die hard ram fan. Grew up with them through my years and still am...

My dad had a white 1500 sport (late 90s) then a red 1500 sport. Then a 06 or 07?? Cant remember.. 1500 big horn.

My step dad had an 05 cummins 6.7. Then an 07 cummins. Now a 2010.

Thank you sir. I wanted a cummins so bad. But after running numbers and actually thinking about it, I wasn't about to get one. It fits in the garage!

My best friend just bought a ram with a hemi, it's the older model though (it's a 2004). I like how the center console is so big on these trucks. You have lots of room which is nice.

TDavis 02-21-2014 10:05 PM

I never understood why my finger pops in the photo. My phone camera takes a wider angle then you'd think I guess.

I'll take pictures tomorrow of the storage. It's quite impressive how much storage there is. I'll probably forget where I put this lol

Power folding mirrors, and the xm antenna clears the garage door by an inch. The cars will be switching sides. The other bay has an additional 8 inches of room so I can still use my garage door lol. I'll be picking up the ole string and tennis ball trick tomorrow so I know exactly when to stop.

Navigation, reverse camera, hands free (Bluetooth), heated seats?

What options did you choose?

I passed on the navigation and reverse camera. But I have the xm with dodge's form of onstar. I do have heated seats and all power seats. Like I said I have the premium seats and storage. It does have the back up assist and has auto tinting mirrors and rear view. Comes with fog lights and switch module that I can program my garage doors in.

The only thing I want to do to the truck is 4500k HIDs in the lows and fogs. Other than that, I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

Sweet, Sounds awesome!

You can always add navigation and a reverse camera later on. Some of the aftermarket ones are nicer than many factory systems anyways. Did you get the white or the cream white color? It's hard for me to tell from the pictures.

tipnitty 02-21-2014 11:12 PM

It's white. I told him if he had the crew cab/big horn/2wd/white/$350 a month and would take $3500 on trade, I would leave there with a truck. Took him a while, but he found it. I was dumbfounded. I could aftermarket, but all they have to do is plug in a camera on the back and upload the nav data through the satellite on the truck and i could have navigation. But I'm good on that for now lol.

Cool, we just put rims, new tires, black housing headlights with HID's, and a light bar on my friends ram today. It looks sweet.

I was actually going to suggest the ol, tball trick. :)

Nice truck, sounds like a great deal too. Time to find someone in that area to slap an forever alone sticker on the window :) But in all seriousness, when are the windows getting tinted?
