She likes the wagon because it looks cool, and so do I, but that shouldn't be a reason to keep it. It just plain sucks when traveling. I think I might be happier with the hemi, but I don't want to regret not getting the diesel. I'd never hear the end of it.

It's a tough call man. Are you going to wait to the Eco's hit the lots to test drive one before you decided or will you just take the leap?

Emily loved the way the truck looked.. But she told me "even though it's not the color you want, you will find inexpensive ways to make it into something that looks great like you always do" SCORE!!

She did use the word "Inexpensive" in that statement..... I acted like I didn't hear that though lol.

Default Re: The Offical B.S Thread!!!!

I'll wait for the Eco's to hit the lots first. I wouldn't be afraid to take a leap on ordering a Hemi, but the Eco is a big gamble.

I wouldn't go crazy on a new truck like I did this one. It will get nodded of course, but nothing drastic.

I hear you..

The whole point of getting this truck was to stop doing shit.... But it will get all the simple bolt on performance and maybe some paint work in the future but not going all crazy with it..

Mods are a lot cheaper too. Anything I do to the truck is at least $2k. Some Bilstien 5100s up front and a stock size Toyo AT2 tire and I'm good to go for awhile.

Speaking of leveling...

I've been reading a lot of things about people running level kits on the 13' thru 14' ram trucks and it is reeking havoc on the ball joints.. I've seen 3 people so far get denied warranty due to adding level kits because it's causing the ball joints to almost pop out of the UCA..

What I have read is that Ram redesigned their UCA's for 13' and up trucks which is why the level kits are starting to cause problems.

You heard anything about this? I guess you would have purchase aftermarket UCA's to balance the 1 to 2" level.

I did see this mentioned on RF. Didn't look too deep though. That sucks if you have to buy new UCAs for a level kit. Still far cheaper than what my 2" cost me on the wagon...

I mentioned selling the PW over on Power Wagon Registry and it didn't go over so well. LOL
