This is really a string that Dodge should be starting, BUT,
If you could add any 1 option to your truck what would you want?

No question, no hesitation, hands down, I'd take a 7th gear!!!

Thats the one I catch myself trying to shift into all the time anyway!

If I leave my truck sit for more than 2 or 3 minutes it jumps up to an 1100 rpm idle all on its own... I've heard other people talk about wanting the high idle thing, what would you be looking for exactly?

Holly crap! just saw your in Raleigh!!! I'm moving there in about 3 or 4 months after being stuck in Michigan for the past 8 years (wifes fault!) The city's not all THAT big, see ya there!
Nice truck, but, why'd you pick up a 4X4 down there? NO SNOW!

Mine does this too, only in cold weather. That doesn't cut the mustard for me as I have to let my truck site for sometimes 60 or more minutes to keep the dog cool. I must find something before it gets hot in the Summer other than a stick. Either way, that will work until I do find something. Everyone makes stuff for automatics, but not the manuals!

A programmable remote starter for 6 spd,that has options of different rpms,and the capability of starting it from a cell phone from any location with a confirmation that it's doing what it's supposed to.

Id like to see a splitter. But an automatic red light changer and a middle finger light ( for the idiots that ride the left lane) on the tailgate would be nice too.

That would be my vote. Pyro, tranny, boost, from the factory.

My Mom's Rx-7 turbo has a boost gauge from the factory.

Especially for mechanical idiots like me, who needs the gracious help of fellow dieselheads to install the aftermarket ones.
