pickup my first hemi tomorrow

**madmaxin22** · 04-08-2009, 06:22 PM

well, someone finally traded in a nice truck at work and i jumped on it
06 ram quad cab thunderroad edition with 36k on it. Managed to get them to put a 6yr/80000 mile powertrain warranty. The good thing is the truck is equipped nicely with a ARE painted tonneau, side tubes, remote start/alarm, bug shield, bedliner, ventvisors and of course the 345hp hemi. Signed today, pick it up tomorrow.. very stoked

Nice. I had an 03 Quad Cab. I bought a 09 Hemi Crew cab about a month ago. Loving it. 390hp 407tq, 20 inch wheels and Detenator Yellow. O yeah 18.5mpg on the way how from the dealer!

Congrats Mike. That's the best way to buy 'em. Let someone else drive it for a year or two and load it up with extras. G/L with it.

thanks, sure i will... mpg has me a little worried, hear some ppl that are getting really bad mileage... good thing is working for chrysler i can get parts dirt cheap and get them worked on by techs for side $. supposidly a CAI and tuner can bump them up a few mpg and add a few horses as well

pics coming tomorrow

Congrats on the buy....dodge has come back with a nice lookin truck and with loads of hp and tq but it comes with a lot of body roll. thats its downfall.

**Troll** · 04-08-2009, 11:19 PM

very nice. can't wait to see pics.

The rear-end will determine your mileage more than anything. It have 3.73 or 4.10?

**2001GTTT** · 04-09-2009, 06:17 PM

great looking truck

**badf250** · 04-09-2009, 10:45 PM

Thats a nice truck. I origionally wanted a Dodge ram when I bought my F250, but the local dodge dealer treatd me like Shiz, so I went to Sturman Ford.

So far my Hemi isn't bad on gas, but it is in a Car,(09 Challenger), but my F250 is lucky to get 10MPG city, but did manage 17 highway a couple of times, but mostly hovers around 14 or so highway. couldn't imagine a half ton Dodge worse than that.

**fast4ord** · 04-09-2009, 10:49 PM

Nice looking truck mike, what dealer you work for?

**v6mustang01** · 04-10-2009, 12:12 AM

That is a sharp lookin truck...always like the crew cabs!

**Martin0660** · 04-10-2009, 12:19 AM

Nice Truck. I really like my Dodge ;)

**pRojekt02GT** · 04-10-2009, 12:38 AM

Looks good..what dealership you an advisor at?..I'm one at Century three..lol sucks!!

**madmaxin22** · 04-10-2009, 08:08 AM

im at day baum blvd CJD if anyone needs any parts or general help w/ any chrysler question feel free to ask.

truck rides awesome. reset the overhead thing and after about 30 miles it says my avg. is 13.5mpg. filled it up before hand so i can calculate it for real and see how accurate it really is
