A friend of mine bought a Ram with the 5.9 litre engine, he thought
he was going to one up me since my dak only had a 5.2. Well he
should have done his homework because the Stock 5.9 Ram gets beat
badly by a stock 5.2 dak. Of couse its not even close since I have
added many mods since then and he has not.
