    I always thought Dodge trucks needed a hood ornament to augment their style.
    Like this one, maybe.

    No but it DID come with a lifetime warranty for less than the cost of a tranny so I figure I'll be ahead of the game if that time comes

    And this truck will haul quite a few stools as well. I'll be making deliveries here very shortly.

    You bought a Dodge?????????

    I know you're not rich, so you (and most other Dodge truck owners) probably didn't get the VERY EXPENSIVE option......a muffler?

    It's pretty hefty sounding with the 5.7. I'm considering something a bit louder to soothe my redneck side Dang cabin's too quiet!

    So it's the Hemi? I think those are up to like 390 hp.

    Mopar always had the best sounding engines. Wonder if that's still true? And the induction starters were cool sounding too.

    My work vehicle is a 2014 crew cab Ram. I really like it. Haven't had any issues with it and it's been driven pretty hard as you'd expect. It's got 60K on it now.

    Maybe gear reduction is the term I was looking for. When those old Dodge starters cranked, it sounded like the were turning over a beast.

    I had a 74 Dodge B100 van with a 318, hedman headers and corvair mufflers and that was the sweetest sounding engine I've ever heard. I used to love going to downtown areas and listen to those pipes chugging off the buildings.

    Yeppers ... (gear)-reduction is what you wanted. I just had to do some amateur SD'ing. I assume the mufflers you mentioned were for the turbo Corvair? Ya' can't get much more 70'ish that that. Ahhh, the good ol' days!

    I like the feel that you are gearing down with the six speeds, and I guess that's what you're actually doing. Especially when you are towing. That is handy as heck.

    Yeah, the manual control of the transmission feels pretty good as well. It has a towing mode than changes shift points as well, trailer break controls in the cab, bofe adapter plug types on the hitch and that hitch is as unsullied as Lynn's woman parts. Never touched, as it were

    That is a real good looking truck!

    6 speed transmission? I thought only toyota was still behind on that. Most stuff now is 8 speed but I might be wrong... Hemi, oh yeah baby! That might explain why it dont have an 8 speed transmission, it is going to suck that gas no matter what... Had I need a working truck instead of a Sunday truck i would have been looking dodge or gmc.
