Mark Kuzia just bought a Ram 1500 SB SLT Hemi with the 3.92 and 20" rims
etc. It's a very nice truck, I drove it around yesterday looking for a truck
for me, lots of power and awesome handling and brakes. But the gas mileage
was pretty low and there's been talk on the Ram forums of fairly loud
ticking/lifter noise on the Hemi's after 15,000 miles. I'll just get the 4.7
now and wait to see on the Hemi's after a couple of years. BTW he got his
through Autobytel.com and paid invoice so it wasn't too bad price wise.
