Morning chuckle

What a crybaby.

Kind of reminds me of something Mark Twain said "its better to have people wonder if you are a dofus then to prove it by plastering it all over your truck"

:) Hi, after several decades of working at new car dealers, The first mistake people make is buying something that they really can't afford. Then they plaster three B.S. excuses on their rear window.


In the early 70's there were two people in town that hated their cars. One of them parked their new car in front of the assembly plant and lit it on fire. The other one bought an advertising sign like used on Taxis, mounted it on the trunk lid, wrote all of his complaints on the sign, and drove it all around town for more than ten years. They sure got even didn't they?????

LOL!!! :B

I drive a 14 year old 3/4 truck that weighs about 7,800# empty, and can get 20 mph driving 65 on the freeway, 14 mpg city driving.
That and it will pull a 11,000# 5er at speed up 6% grades.
Yes as a 43 year Ford owner, I LOVE my Ram Cummins! Sure beats both of my F250's with 460's.

Know what you mean LOL

Don't get that 20 on hwy (best is 17) but have 4:10 and didn't expect 17.
Can't help but smile when pulling 14K tall (13' 4") 5vr at speed up 6% PLUS grades.
Love that tractor motor...not real impressed with wrapping.
Never have really liked Dodge.......this one is OK but if it wasn't for the 5.9L CTD wouldn't be using it.
If had to replace don't know what I would go with.....don't like the looks of any right now.
Maybe somebody will come out with a style that looks like a truck in the next 10 yrs. Hahahahaha!

As for that Ford 460
My old one got 4-6 mpg on a good day
After some changes.......different set of timing gears, reset timing, tuned headers and better 4 bbl carb got 10 mpg.
Loaded, unloaded, up hill, down hill didn't matter....got 10 :B

Since it is in Canada would it not be kpg instead mpg.

I have a solution for him, he can drive it to me and give it to me , I will be happy to take it and he will be happy to go buy a dodge, opps Ram I mean

I have never heard the Ecoboost marketed to get 28 mpg so I wonder what "hype" he is referring to. The 2011-2014 4x4 Ecoboost are EPA rated to get a combined 17 mpg(which is tested on non-ethanol fuel). If this guy is getting 16 mpg combined using E10 then he is within its window sticker rating. Ram Hemi 5.7L 6 speeds in 2011 were EPA rated to get a combined 15 mpg(which according to fuelly.com there are averaging 14 mpg) and that is with a costlier 89 octane requirement so I don't understand what this guys issue is.

Funny sign. But I really don't understand if you were that unhappy with something, why would you keep it? Take the loss, learn from the experience, and move on. Life is too short.
