  I'm curious: Can your order the truck with option EML outside of the
28B package? It would seem that a good chunk of the additional cost for
the R/T is the automatic transmission "upgrade". I could do without the
additional cost, and I could definitely do without the auto. ;-)

   I'll be keeping my truck for some time to come, but if they're still
offering the R/T package when I get around to getting another one, I'd
like the 360 without an auto...

  On a related note... A friend of mine mentioned that the new engine
for the Jeep Grand Cherokee is now 4.7 liters as opposed to the current
5.2 liter. Apparently, it makes the same horsepower as the 5.2, but
this is a bit frightening to me. I hope Dodge doesn't do the same with
their trucks! (If you're gonna improve the engine so that it makes a lot
more HP per cubic inch, then don't decrease the engine displacement
to keep the HP the same! Keep the displacement the same, and just let
the HP end up where it may...) Arrhh arrh arrhh!!!! =)
