2 main reasons: 1. gas mileage. Got a new job, driving 1000 miles or
more per week, got sick of paying $47 every two days for gas. New car is
averaging 28mpg in mixed driving (truck was getting a hair over 14), so
even with premium it's down to around $60/week. Also, it's a lot more
comfortable for long hauls.
2. Got sick of dealing with my dodge dealer. They won't diagnose or fix
anything unless there's NO WAY you can ignore it. ie front wheels won't
turn at all, they'll replace the ps pump. if it looses boost or grinds
when you turn, there's nothing wrong. 80% of what has gotten fixed on my
truck has been done by ME because they wouldn't do it under warranty.
