finally got a new hemi!! - 5/14/2008 5:10:32 PM    revo33   Posts: 10 Joined: 5/10/2008 Status: offline finally got the hemi 4x4 ram i've always wanted a few weeks ago.  It's an 07 big horn edition (black) with the 20" wheels.  Financed about 17000 for the truck, but the only downside is it has 37000 miles on it, quite a bit for just one year old.  Do u guys think i got a good deal, i would rather have one with fewer miles on it but trucks ain't cheap these days Post #: 1

Now the preventive maintenace.  If you do not have reliable service records, change all the fluids and remember, scheduled plug change is 30,000.  I did mine at 41K and they were not too bad, just a wide gap. Yea, I look foward to the snow too!! _____________________________ The Wanderer 2004 RC 4X4 Yeah, It's got a Hemi (in reply to revo33) Post #: 9
