What didn't I like about the Ram? Let's see.....9mpg on it's best day, a steering wheel that would not return to center, a suspension that was equal to that of a buck board, the rear end would get loose over the slightest of bumps, erratic idle, transmission shifting errors, and the warranty service was non-existant. The motor had a noise....a lifter noise to be exact....and Dodge would not fix it. They stated since they could not determine the exact cause, they would not just start replacing parts until they fixed it. The engine computer was re-flashed three times to try to fix the idle and shifting problem, but it still had problems. Translation: fuck you, live with it. Sorry, but when I pay $20k for something that you promise to fix if it breaks, I want it fixed.
SHame for them, because I trade for new every 18-24 months. Having had problems with a new Chevy back in '96, I've never bought another one. Now I will add Dodge to the list. They'll never get another dime of my money. I've had several Fords before, and even though some problems came up, Ford always stepped up to the plate and fixed them. It's all about service to me.

Still liking the new f-onefitty? I love mine...thing is soo nice riding/driving. The only thing that irks me is the 2.5" nose dive...I gotta lift the front end oh that and the exhaust is too quiet. I'll fix the exhaust this week with a flowmaster and the lift when I get some $.

I had one of those nifthy loud exhausts on my Dodge....I think I'll stick to the peace and quiet for awhile. (I must be gettin' old)
Lifting the front is simple with strut spacers. The only problem I have is that the office where I am currently doing my consulting work has only a parking garage, with no outside parking. Clearance is only 7ft, and as you know, it barely makes that the way it is. Going up 2 1/2 inches in front and a set of 33's would put me outside....and out of business.
Installed an Aiwa head unit to get rid of the stock unit. Stock speakers work surprisingly well with new unit.

If I lift it and put tires on it, the damn thing won't fit in the parking garage at my office, and the dumbass architect that designed the place didn't create ANY outside parking. 6'7" total clearance. I was going to lift the front 2" to level it off and put some 36"s on it, but it won't go in the parking garage.

^^I had a '97 and a '99.....I like them both. Then I bought that Dodge....big error. Back to a Ford. I have to go to the dealer tomorrow and get the brakes looked at, so I hope I don't get the itch to trade it for a '06.
