It's my company truck but my cheap A company doesn't pay for anything, not even fuel. I'm gonna have write a stern email to management tomorrow; of course when I get the complaint, I'll right click it, mark as junk and block the sender. May even suspend myself for a day.:D

Made the final payment on this raggedy donkey beater truck

I'd bet that was transmission or egr issues, not the engine itself. Everyone one I knew back then that had GN's or GNX's had trans issues. That 200R4 was trash

Im am as mopar as one can be but I can admit that the 5.7 in these trucks is weak. I had a 73 charger in HS that came with a 318, swapped that for a RHS 360 (RHS was a subsidiary of comp cams that built high performance engines in the 90's) then a 440 and from there it was a 89 Shelby Daytona. I...

I had a 2000 Ram work truck(3) with both the 318, 360 and the v6, they were dogs even with 15" wheels and in work truck trim, ie, light weight. Lacking for power is subjective, the 5.7 in these trucks have no mid range power to me. I'm not looking for racecar in a 5500 lb truck but I want more...

It's not that, it's the gutless mid range power from 1600-3500. It has no torque or not enough for the weight of the truck and makes the truck not drive well (needs a lot of throttle).

Same here. In 5 years of having this truck, not one time has the fob left my pocket from the time my day started until I got back home

I'm at 96K with no trans service yet, I have the 7 year/unlimited mileage extended warranty so I'm not concerned with it; I plan on trading this truck just after the warranty is expired. My last truck went 275K on the original fluid and filter and ever skipped a beat

Not on modern engines. Will it hurt, no but those plugs are fine

Generally, when the ground strap starts getting eaten back from the electrode, is when it's time to replace them. As long as the porcelain isn't cracked and the ground strap is intact, the plug is still good. Strangely, on my previous truck (2003 hemi) I changed the plugs around 155K miles...

Those plugs are still good

Thats to place the trans in neutral

I use it as a truck weekly. I had a 15' tall tree getting blown down last spring, chopped it up and loaded it into the truck and hauled to the dump, no harm to the bedrug. I have a tarp that I can place on the bed on top of the bedrug if I were ever worried about damaging it but nothings ever...

Mine fit fine, everything lines up and stays with the velcro The wrinkles on the right flattened out as soon as it got hot
