In an effort to do our little bit to get the economy going we bought a
new truck today.

The old one lasted 18++ years, 276,585 miles and is actually still going
strong although it's well past beat up and ugly

The new one is a Dodge 4 door short bed 4X4 with the Cummins diesel, it
has truly awesome power and I can't wait to hook up my trailer and head
over the pass.

However,

I feel very poor now :-(


Nice!

I'm guessing you got an amazing deal given the economic situation? They
have some great offerings in the area, but I can't get my bride on board
for a new one although my '04 still purrs like a kitten.

As RD mentioned, the chips/programmers are really nice and will add major
hp and additional fuel economy. With the programmers (like Bullydog) you
can really dial these motors. The only concern would be the potential of
voiding the warranty.

Congrats,
JT



Some of the dealers may not be selling as they will not deal. Looking for a
new vehicle for wife. Looked at a Vensa at the local Toyota dealer.
Sales guy says window sticker is the price. I told him I do not pay window
sticker during good times, why would I when no one is buying and Toyota lost
$40mm.
