I didn't know if I should post this up in street rides or not, anyhow I guess I'm officially a Dodge guy and a Ford guy.  This is my second dodge truck, I had a nice Cummins a decade ago but my knee gave out and I couldn't shift it anymore.  Anyhow, this is a nice 4x4 automatic and according to motor trend it was 2010 truck of the year, and this is a 2010.  It isn't HD which technically was TOTY but it has 396 HP and a real cool coil spring back suspension.  It friggin hauls the mail and is smooth riding, good for this ol aging body.  Any of you guys have the scoop on these Hemi Dodges? I know it isn't a Ford, but the only way I got into this was because of a smoking deal, and if it was a Ford it would be a bare bones ford for what I paid for this.  24k if your curious, and was off showroom floor 50 miles on odo, plus the dealer bought my POS Jeep for 20k against 24k I bought it for 2 years ago, no I'm not joking nobody could touch this deal plus I dig the truck.

Yeah, 10k of the 34k MSRP and I still can't believe a dealer gave me that much on the Jeep, especially when they know what I paid because they sold it to me in the first place, lol.  I'm not sure if I'm going up 6 or 4 yet, I know I'm getting a roll bar and Linex first.  I have to look into lifts for this new coil spring back system and decide from there.  Kind of hard to see in this pic but it has 19 inches of body clearance now, I know that isn't much around here but it's pretty decent for stock.

I better dig the blue too BD or else I'm going to get my butt kicked by the wife.  She has about had enough of me buying new cars, lol.  I wish it had less chrome too, I would have loved to black this baby out, but I think I'm stuck with it.  For this deal I had one choice and this was it.

==cl all i can say is get one peice lug nuts... anything chrysler has 2 peice lug nuts stock (steel with chrome cover) eventually the steel rusts and expands the chrome cap to a size that doesnt exist, better to swap'em out now before you gotta take a tire off and theres no socket that will fit it ;D  other than that I havent heard anything bad about them, boss had a 03' and it hauled! ==djdj
