A picture that says it all with a RAM in front of a automotive parts store!



BTW... Nice rig I hear the old folks love them. :W

LOL Troy. You know when I took the photo from across the street at the Subway after lunch in Great Falls Montana I knew that would get a Ram rip once again from you.

Looks like quite the upgrade! Congrats on your new purchase and hope you put a LOT of miles on it! Are you planning on having a toad?

Thanks and the toad will be a 2015 GMC Canyon, if it ever gets off the rails :( . Good news today, it is in Spokane finally.

Time to install a Safe-T-Steer?

What is that?

Everyone over corrects for a while moving into an A. Heeling over shifts your head to the side (even though the tires are in the same track) and you correct when you should not. Try driving with your steering hand deliberately locked and don't react when she leans over.

Gets easy with practice.

Thanks but that might work on a nice flat interstate highway but I was traveling on Montana/ Idaho state route 200. It is all 2 lane mostly with hills, turns and let's just say narrow lanes with no shoulders. Not to mention studded tire pitted asphalt.
If I locked my hand on that road I'd be floating down the Clark Fork River :W It is a beautiful drive along the river most of the way with big horn sheep ( Rams) in the trip every time we drive it.


Thanks for the congrats from everyone else who gave it. Part of the wind issue was the route we took like I explained above. The start of the trip in Missoula the wind was calm and it was a pleasure to drive.
Once I got into the hills and curves and wind it was a new experience for me. Same route I took with the Ram and 5er the day before. But this time the vehicle was new to me, and the transmission would suddenly change gears while descending hills even after I would pick a gear with the EB on. The red line is 2200 RPM and I know it geared it down to hit the 2500 RPM mark twice before I gave up with the EB until I learned more about it along with the Allison. There must be a way to roll the gears in that Allison downhill :B Just a side note, we have a 15% grade up to the stick house which is about 2 miles. Pulled it great in 3rd at 35 MPH ( speed limit). Stuck it in third and she stayed there just fine. Final private road drive I haven't measured the grade but it must have a short 18% section. The Ram needed first gear and give it hell. This Phaeton pulled it with ease in 2nd. I just need to learn the downhill operation of the coach.
Thanks again to all, see you down the road hopefully some day, even you Troy boy :B
