Talking A Big Thankyou!

Just wanted to extend a big thankyou to this website and its members. While awaiting the arrival of my new truck, I spent a considerable amount of on this site educating myself on the new Dodge. I was formerly a Ford 7.3 owner. Now that I have my new Ram, I must say, there is no comparison. I drive around w/a big grin on my ugly mug. Thanks again!!!!!

Congrats on the new truck. Did you have a powerstroke or an IDI 7.3? Big HP difference between an IDI and the 5.9.

It was the old 7.3. You're right..........Huge HP difference. Can't complain about the truck much, though. Last Nov. I hit a tree, head on @ approx. 50 MPH, and walked away with a couple of cuts and a lot of aches and pains. Hence, the order of a new truck!

Wow glad you are okay. I hate it when trees run out in the road like that..
I had a couple of old IDI's over the years and they were great trucks just not powerhouses. But I tell ya I'd take an old IDI 7.3 over a 6.5 Chev any day. Drove a 4500 on Friday with 4 skids of sod on it. Right to the floor it was doing about 45 and smoking like it was going to ignite. What a gutless POS. Never drove one before. Hope I don't ever again.
