Test drove an '01 Ram...

Man, 24v's really pull!

It was a shortbed ext. cab with 99k on it...

Saw it on the lot when I was at the parts counter...

I noticed the "Wait to Start" light stayed on for like 15 seconds... my 12v is very short... and this was in 44* weather...

The tranny felt weird because it was an auto,,, I kept wanting to downshift when I slowed down

But those things are QUICK...

Must be fun to plug in a box and feel the power...

Your not kidding. I bought a 2001 ho 6 speed new. I also have a 98.5 24 valve. I swear my 01 is stronger than my 03, and 98.5. She has serious low end power,and all my trucks are stock.

Throw a 10 plate , and a GSK in that truck. You will forget what 24v means the first time you step on it
