im on the look out for a dodge ram im gonna jack it up and put some big wheels on it. what ram is the best engine the 5.7 hemi or the diesel version? i havent got a clue about these?

sit down steve your a ****** ever since i came in yours i wanted 1.

 

i have an 2003 5.7 hemi 4 door.....its fast and halls 3 bikes in the bed side by side....i love it

 

and its only 2wd so im just gona lower it with rims

 

looks sweet as hell. is that standered height?

 

ow can you shut the back with 3 bikes it the back?

 

 

check out dieselwheels.com it the shop i work at we can do it all check it out

 

Steve's is a diesel. Either one is gonna be expensive as hell to drive. I would buy the diesel if you can afford it. Cummins motor is the ****, the older ones are prone to tranny problems though. Diesel is a workhorse and will last much longer. Love my diesel ....

 

04 dodge dakota, v6, shaved doors, mirrors, tailgate handle, welded in roll pan, 5" drop up front, 6" drop in rear, 18's & 20"s boyd coddington rims, 1 piece headlights, very easy to load bikes in.

 

excuse the gayness of me posing next to it

 

here's my ****.It's little but its good on gas and easy to load the bikes in!

 

i loved my ram, but it was a gas pig. 2" 4" drop on 22's

Heres what i drive now, better on gas, all around tougher truck.

 

I want an '09 f150 with the supercharged 4.4L diesel V-8

 

I love my Ram. But get the Diesel or you'll hate the mileage. I get 17-20mpg on my dully. I do have a straight 4in exhaust, chip, and other mods that help. Look for the 04.5 model as it has the best engine/tranny configuration. Nothing beats the Ram in power potential and engine reliability. There are transmission (auto) issues in the older models. They may fail around 70-100K miles if you're abusing them or towing heavy loads. Small price to pay for the best engine and what can be a very good looking truck with some mods. Check out the link.

the diesel f150 is getting pushed back to 2010 i thought??

 

Did it? Since I left the auto industry I don't keep up with future stuff as much. Niner should know.

 

thats what i heard my reps don't know anything though..

gm or ford needs to come out with a 4 or 6 cyl turbo diesel electric hybrid with direct injection and no idle getting like 50 mpg out of a 1500 would be insane

 

Isn't Ford suppose to put out a turbo 6cyl f150 next year too ?

 

Ya that would be sick, hopefully diesel eventually goes down in price.

 

There is no logical explanation for the rapid price increase of it over the last year. There is virtually no refinement process to it, it is cheap to produce yet when it started getting more popular with consumers it suddenly doubled in price and became more expensive than gas .... hmmmm ....

Diesel fuel takes two fewer processing steps to make. This means that we can refine more fuel at the refinery which will increase our total fuel production with the same crude resources.

It seems that in this country people or things that can produce better results are penalized, while bad ideas like ethanol are supported. I guess diesel needs a good farm lobby.
