yahoo - that's a lot o-truck right there!
The Ram was on a buy back recall, had a issue with the front suspension that they could no fix. 40k miles on truck and was on its third set of michelin tires, 1600 a set! The design was bad. They redesigned suspension after that year.
LOL its my daily driver for now. We have a big fifth wheel trailer that I pull, :coffee2:

I'll bet - two what - $50+k vehicles.. ?
Close. I loved my Ram Mega cab but dang! was eating tires. No way to fix it. And that was paid for.

Hey bartender!
Hey there you truckers!!! I have to admit to driving a GMC truck also.. Hi, my name's Ben. And I drive a GMC...
Hi Ben!:cheers: This thing is sweet! Pulled a 53 ft car carrier full on monday, from indio to phoenix AZ. Pulled the grade outside Indio at 60mph with air on! Nice. I remember climbing that hill in first gear with my 460 powered ford at 15mph. How far pickups have come. And a lot lighter load as well with the ford.

I have enough just keeping up with the Silverado and buying pieces and parts for my scoot and/or the Scamp..

what ya gonna do right? they are typically cheaper to run and maintain... and parts is EASY!
I am here...just checking in then time for a hair cut. Customers respect a waiter who's got a fresh haircut.
I don't know if you guys comb Craigslist like I do...I was going to share a link to a '69 more door V100 3-on-the-tree I saw, very nice shiny survivor for $3500. Someone snapped it up though I guess, which is good, so I'm not torturing myself...not ready to adopt another old Mopar.

morning Dave - gotta keep the look respectable... guess the V100 just wasn't meant to be...

Hey bartender!
Real cheap in my case, the company owns, fuels and maintians it. I just drive the wheels off of it. They made me give this one up for the one I got now. Really miss that one...

Mopar infected...
Only speculation from my side sir, although our local Mopar group have discussed this. Mostly all agreed this may be the case. 70's South Africa was a conservative time, strickt and very God-fearing... One thing though, Chrysler SA badged Valiant Charger before Oz,
The Australian shape Charger was never available in the US (VH, VJ, VK and CL)?Ters.

Hey bartender!
New ones are nice..especially the diesels. They have come a long way, quiet, powerful, fast and comfortable. Hard not to appreciate that... (as long as the turbo or the injectors don't take a dive). Boss (more accurately, the company) dropped nearly 8K on injectors in his Duramax.

I had a feeling that might be where it was coming from - interesting.
