I Did It!

Just Bought My Ram!
It's a 2004.5 2500 600/325 CTD, SWB, 6 Spd, Quad Cab, SLT.
Build date on truck & engine is 5/04.
No vibe at 70 mph
MPG @ 60 to 65 mph is 17.9 (based on overhead computer on short 35 mile trip home)


So far, so good! Thanks to all who helped answer my many questions over the last month.

Welcome to the world of BIG to the mile.
Don't spend too much on the accessories, get out and "Drive It Like You Stole It"

Will do!
I tend to do too much research before a big purchase - drive everyone (including myself) crazy. Thanks to all who put up (and answered) my questions!

Talking

Wait till you see how EVERYONE stares at that baby !!! Mines a month old now and I have NO complaints ( unlike the wife's Impala SS P.O.S !! ) . Believe me the other truck owners are drooling at these beasts . Ford guy was talking trash at a stoplight about how he would spank this Dodge ,etc ....... just laughed and my daughter said come on dad you gonna listen to that ?? 1000 miles on her and it SMOKED that new 6.0 ......stock too !!
