    No but the new Rams with the 3.73 gearing sure are nice.

    More fuel = more boost!!

    Think there’s a XLT on the lot in Ravanel with one. Been waiting on a dealer close to get one in just to check it out. I like my diesels but a $10-$11k premium plus maintenance, higher fuel costs, local tows and flat roads are making it hard to justify if this engine pans out to be what they claim.

    Guy on THT had the new 10spd in his new truck, already been in the shop. KRT was on top of that one.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Yeah plus I think that 7.3L is going to get some power upgrades.

    Palmetto has a lariat I believe with one too. I’m very curious how thirsty it is empty on the highway. Not sure when we will get another boat or what size it will be. Only thing I know is I don’t need a diesel, but damn if they aren’t fun to drive. Also can’t bring myself to get a commuter car. I spend enough time behind the wheel that I want to drive something I like.

    Missed the guy on the THT with problems. Did see the guy who took one home put kept his 6.7 in the end and gave it back.

    Also 5 star tuning has 2 that they ran on the dyno. One is a tremor with 4.30 gears and 35’s, the other 3.55 with stock xlt tires.

    What you doing to the ram, must be a lift and tires. We all know you have minimal experience on Cummins, due to they don’t break down.

    Young lady’s truck that is into horses. She got rid of her 2500 with the Hemi and got herself a diesel. We leveled this one. Worse thing I could have done was drive it. It’s a whole new truck with 3.73 gears instead of 3.42

    Wonder if they got the electronics worked out in them. That was my only gripe with the '16 I had, shit was always going haywire. The '13 had DEF issues from the start. Of course I updated my SYNC system in the F250 to Version 3 and it'll pull some crazy Ivan's now too.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    If u get less than the 4.30 in a gas and plan to ever pull anything, you are a dumb ass. People dont understand gearing and 90% of trucks are undergeared.

    The company gears them for fuel mileage. No more 3 speeds with a granny.
