RE: Help me pick out a ram truck - 6/22/2004 8:49:08 AM    h22lude   Posts: 21 Joined: 6/16/2004 Status: offline So if I wait a few month until the 2005 start to come out then I can get a good deal on one? I am kind of picky on what I want but a lot of the parts I want are Mopar so the dealer would install them not the factory. Correct me on that if I am wrong. (in reply to Deleted User) Post #: 31

So if you can find one you want snap it up. Plus if you happen to know an chry emp, they can give you their discount for a limited time. < Message edited by jgralka -- 6/22/2004 9:02:20 AM > _____________________________ quote: ORIGINAL: BadStratRT GO BLUE!!

RE: Help me pick out a ram truck - 6/22/2004 12:21:02 PM    h22lude   Posts: 21 Joined: 6/16/2004 Status: offline I test drove a Reg Cab Hemi yesturday and it was nice. Around town it wasn't bad but on the highway after 3500 rpm it took off. I am going to be test driving a few more trucks/SUVs before I make my final choice. I love the Ram but I don't know about its stopping ability and how it handles in turns (I am not racing in turns, just normal driving in turns won't be the best, I am guessing). If you have anything to add to help me out, I would appreciate it. (in reply to SHAPman) Post #: 33

RE: Help me pick out a ram truck - 6/22/2004 4:45:10 PM    h22lude   Posts: 21 Joined: 6/16/2004 Status: offline Thanks, I know they look good but how about stopping and cornering? If I add some better brakes and lower the truck a little will it help at all? I am thinking of just getting the stock 17" wheels with the 3.92 axel ration and buy aftermarket rims. So when I get the rims I can add the brakes and lower and hopefully the braking and cornering will improve. No???? (in reply to HEMI X) Post #: 37

HEMI power, awesome looks, lowered, room for 5+cargo. I'm sure it corners and stops better too! Just a thought.

I am not really too concered about the cornering it is more the braking. As long as I can get the truck to stop pretty quick just incase then it should be fine. (in reply to HEMI X) Post #: 39

I know it is a QC with the accents and SRT-10 hood with the obvious Hemi. It that it's own model or do you buy a Laramie with the Hemi Sport package? Whats the price difference between the Hemi Sport and Laramie J package RC? (in reply to h22lude) Post #: 40

It is a fake scoop stuck on a stock hood. The SRT-10 hood is functional. I would get a laramie with the sport and add the goodies you want. My .02.

RE: Help me pick out a ram truck - 6/22/2004 10:47:17 PM    h22lude   Posts: 21 Joined: 6/16/2004 Status: offline Oh you mean instead of getting the hemi sport, order a QC laramie with the sports package and then get the mopar accent package and the srt-10 hood? What is the comestic difference between a Laramie RC with sports package and Mopar accents and SRT-10? It looks like the front is difference, the rims and the spoiler. Anything I am missing? < Message edited by h22lude -- 6/22/2004 10:53:04 PM > (in reply to Chauncy) Post #: 43
