    I WISH mine got that. My trucks been a lemon since i bought it. Horrible gas mileage. Zero power. No b@lls at all. Breaks Down constantly.



    Injection pump, lift pump, countless wheel bearings. A whole new front end. Steering box. I still have 3-4 inches of free play in the steering wheel. Hanger bearings. 2 in 2 years. U joints. God knows what else Im missing. And i don't buy cheap crap. But they still keep failing prematurely. 50 bucks gets me to Toronto and back, cruising at 105. Empty. I think the tires have a lot to do with it. im hoping.

    Allllll that crap, and i still love the darn thing... The sound... Ohh bud. Gets me every time.
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    typical dodge problems, i have a couple inches of play in the wheel too. mine shaft right after the pitmen arm on the box, if i keep it packed with grease she stays some what tight. i've had to do everything on mine too. and i have 400 worth of parts waiting to be picked up at the dealer. but it works for me. 50 bucks to go to toronto and back from barrie isn't all that bad. i'm going from uxbridge to new market couple times a week and over to port perry to the yards 20 or 30 a day. looking at your profile pic your truck is in alot nicer shape then mine. mine seems to run better with half ton in the back. ya you will notice a difference with smaller tires, when i got mine it had 245s on it and it just looked silly. but its an extra couple inches i have to lift scrap lol i have a list a mile long of stuff that doesn't work right lol but its a work truck, and a daily driver.
