Tripleskate Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Are they quick in a straight line (stock)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Deffinatley could use a tune, but depending on the price and milage you should be happy. Great trucks in the winter, and not to mention good looking too. The Hemi trucks probably average around 13-15MPG normally, so don't be shocked at first. For ease of mind, bed space, towing, and 4WD, they're a good truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustlestiltskin Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 so yea, I ended up passing on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 06 Hemi here. Easily out tows my previous 5.7L GMCs and Chevys, and also much better than my previous 4.7L Ram. I get 20.5mpg mixed. 06 and newer Hemi Rams have Dodge's version of Displacement on Demand, running on 4clys when all 8 aren't needed. I have owned 4 Rams, and I have never had front suspension issues nor the "OMG! Dodge has BAD transmissions!!!" issues that internet mechanics like to talk about.

Guest Removed Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Dodge has BAD transmissions!!!" issues that internet mechanics like to talk about. when you change more dodges transmissions then you do oil, then you'll understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I used to on a lot of pre-2002ish cars and vans. Are you changing a lot of newer Dodge transmissions, or the older stuff. I will agree it used to be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 no not really...im going off the older stuff. that's what most remember. "well hunny we got 10,000 miles on the caravan, better get the oil changed and have the trans replaced" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 dodge trannies, front ends, cheap interior, dash cracking, etc, etc, etc. buy a ford or chevy Blah, blah. Cheap interior? Cracked dashed? Have you owned a Ram made in the last 7 years? I've owned all makes of full size trucks since 99. Wouldn't trade the Ram for anything else except maybe another V8 Toyota.
