O/T : Bought a new whip & downsized my car payments

[Big Kahuna]

just no room, and it is a dodge.

but congrats anyhow!!!!!!!!

[Wolf Child]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA! you got RAMMMED, I mean a ram. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[DR3]

pretty sweet but 20s are weak on a full size truck:nana:.. they gonna look like 10s but im sure ull keep'em clean :Banane25:

sweet deal and get that damn MX out and the SJ in:147:

[The Penguin]

hello 12.9mpg

[spence]

i thought that now they come with a lifetime powertrain warranty?

[the only couch rider]

should look something like this when she's all roached out and the murderage is complete.

congrats but that is a shortbed and yours is a longbed.... a dropped long bed reg cab is gonna look ghey.........:drive:

[butti]

very nice saki! the new dodges sure are good looking!:afro:

[the only couch rider]

and what is it tacking at going down the highway @ 80... just curious... i am pulling 2250 and going 400 miles on a tank currently

[Phill]

congrats but that is a shortbed and yours is a longbed.... a dropped long bed reg cab is gonna look ghey.........:drive:



Longbed....shortbed...it doesnt matter......any dropped truck looks ghey :puke:

[the only couch rider]

the little digital gizmo reads about 18.9-19.0mpg going steady 80 on the cruise control on the hiway. it reads about 21mpg with the cruise control on 55mph

its the city driving that i average about 14mpg in... 8-10mpg if youre being "that guy"

mine is an '06.. they came with the 3/36.. so they threw in the 8/80 on top of it.. so i actually have 2 warranties right now :smile:

i had a truck i couldnt give a rats ass about for 4 years.. i was over it... i'll tell you what, that was the best way to buy a truck. when i bought my nissan i just wanted the cheapest, v6, long bed, 4 dr truck i could find.. i didnt care about the color, options, etc. thats how i ended up with the nissan. i got a good deal on both trucks. lets see how long i keep this POS.

edit: my truck has that weird MDS thing that drops it down from 8 cyls to 4 cyls.. i'm still trying to figure that out.


the 3/36 is bumper to bumper the 8/80 is the powertrain.....

[SuperJETT]

MDS is a cool feature, both in how it works and the increase in mpg. You won't even notice it's happening.

[Vumad]

Of all of our trucks/SUVs, my dads full sized gets the best milage. That new technology and oversized engine goes a long way with efficency. People say the big engines in trucks are a waste, but what is a real waste is an underpowered engine. Big engines never have to work hard.

20's look sexie but I would stick with 18's. Lowering a truck and putting big rims on it just doesn't make sense to me. The bigger the rim, the smaller the tire and the less travel. I am too rough on trucks to have a sidewall only 3" tall.

[Wolf Child]

ahhhh... lowered trucks with ghetto wheels.

[Wolf Child]

the funnest part about it.. is irritating the haters like you. :unitedstates:

lol

I'm not a hater, I just dont get it. get a full sized truck and drop it to the ground so it rides like shiat and is completely useless as a truck. just get a station wagon and hack the back off if you want an El Camino

I just ride mine in... how much easier do you want it?

and I guarantee my truck is alot taller than yours stock

[hermanns]

not a truck guy, but lowering a truck is less ghey than jacking it so high you need a ladder to get in. I don't want to have to worry about flipping my damn ride doing a turn. My camaro is about 4" off the ground w/ a tight ass suspension. It will turn like crazy, but sucks if the road isn't smooth, or a speedbump. At least I don't have to worry about getting a ticket for my bumpers being too high. Lower > overly high and stock height is always gay.

[WaveDemon]

sexy truck edwin!

Is that the reincarnation of the el camino? Please no. Looks a lot like those subaru things.

Its holden, a australian maker owned by GM, gm basically took the holden manaro, changed the bumper, and put on a spoiler when they made the new pontiac gto's back in 04.

[tom21]

saki congrats on the new ride, but sorry the very definition of truck is spelled- C H E V R O L E T. wannabe.

Let me look around the shop- I am sure we have one of those hitches that bolts to a vw bug. gas mileage, style and pull a ski.

[butti]

Congrats Saki. Very nice truck. I've been kinda looking at the 2500 w/cummins.

they are awsome trucks.i liked my first one so much that i got another.:Banane01:

Can't hate on that. :approve: Good looking truck man. Much more practical than a caddy!

[tom21]

Edwin, weren't you sporting a thunderchicken before? never learn...:crazy:

[SuperJETT]

Utility, as in hauling stuff.

[SuperJETT]

Our van gets around 15-16 city, 24+ highway. You're styling today eh?

lol, i love all the hatred!!!!!!

hahahaha

i dropped off the truck this morning at the stealership and they gave me a caravan.. v6.. got me 15.9mpg vs my 14'ish on the truck.. not much diff there..

i gotta get used to driving around with 5%'s again.. them bitches are dark!

ok, continue the hate spree...

oh, yeah, agree with SuperJett .. UTE = Utility..... and for the record.. I LOVE ME A '69 SS 396 EL CAMINO!!! ALL DAY BABY!!!

[Big Kahuna]

actually they are very practical............ I have thought about them also, especially with the kid, it would have to be a Honda Odyssee......

We have the remote door and hatch, very cool stuff when you have kids.

[tom21]

i just used the remote control on my caravan to open up the big side door so i can pull out the box i brought to work with me today to ship out (r&d pipe).
:haha:

:haha::haha::haha:now i know you are messin with us. very funny amigo.:slap:

[tom21]

uh vdubs pull they don't get pulled. speaking of minivans you should have gotten a vw bus. like a double cab. duh they made those vanagons with the double cab and 4 wheel drive too! a/c baby!

well I'm going, I can't take much more of this my sides are hurting from laughing so much.:clown:

[YAMA CAT]

hello 12.9mpg

Now that's not true. Hubby's Hemi gets 13 mpg sometimes up to 15mpg. It's a standard cab too. It's his toy he's happy. I will say that it handles well for a truck.

Please Please.... If you get aftermarket exhaust have them turned down or out to the side. His exhaust come straight out the back and blow crap on our tool box and skis.

Congratulations on the new toy.

[butti]

hell yeah.. and a Puerto Rican Flag

i was gonna make a flag comment last nite but figured you ACTUALLY had one on your rearveiw so it wouldnt be funny:tomato:

[butti]

thanks, and good point. i was planning on going true duals pointing straight back. gangster!!!!!

no!!!!!!!!!! chevelle,chevyII style is the only way to go

[Waste Land]

Edwin...I know what you need. It's a cool truck thats low, but not thugged out..and get you to the track fast!

Tread jack alart........

I have a buddy that switched his f-250 diesel to run on veg oil. He has a list of like 30 chinese restraunts that he pics up oil from. First he strains it through a t-shirt and then he has this other filter type thing that cleans it up. He came from Myrtle Beach to meet me in Orlando and claimed he only used 13 gallons of oil (free). Thought it was pretty cool, seeing how I went and filled my truck with diesel to the tune of $80 :fart:

[Tuttle]

dam, that's just gross tho.


Guess you right. I did end up with one of those MSG headachs after driving around with him.

for that pice you could buy a real car.

[SuperJETT]

straight pipes out the front so they hear you running them down.

I've heard complaints about dual exhaust sound with the MDS kicked in, like it's farting or something because you only have 2 cylinders/side firing.

[the only couch rider]

that's maybe the only thing youve ever said that even made half-sense...


it's a simple swap since both share the same chassis underneath.... just a matter of wiring it up really

most rams come stock with 20's.. i have an slt with the 17's

i'm gonna lower it first, then i'll see how i feel about the 17's.. i'll most likely pick up a set of 20's though.. nice blackies with chrome lippage..

hopefully something like this..

http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com/images/Truck-Rims.jpg

Hell yea... You got all the right ideas. Small drop to level it out, nice rims (I like the black with polished lip)..... And the 8ft bed will look good once lowered.... + now you have so much more bed space! Dodge single cabs are huge anyways... just cant put much behind the seats.
