MrMeanGreen Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 My company scored me a 2004 Dodge Ram SLT with the 5.7L Hemi for personal use this weekend. I plan on hitting up the four F-Body speed shops in the area (MTI, HPE, etc) this weekend and probably the NASA Aerospace Museum. Anyways, I'm not a big Mopar fan, but this truck has got some nuts and sounds pretty beefy. I like. This may be a contender for the Bird Tow-vehicle next year.

KennyFKINPowerz Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Doesnt the magnum come with a hemi? That would be a fun ride. I am not a Dodge fan but those motors make some good power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
