Don’t drive it like a grandpa. Enjoy the HEMI. It’s made to take a beating. I found that enjoying the drive gives me about 2 MPG less if I drive it the way I want vs. babying it. Just live a little and enjoy the new truck! :D

Welcome! Great looking truck! :)

Sadly not. I moved into my new house with a heated garage if I really wanted to warm it up before going out. :) I may still do it in the future, but I haven’t got much reason for it at the moment.

Lease to buy. The wife and I weren’t in the financial space to be able to make the purchase. I leased mine coming from a ‘17 leased truck. They took it back 10 months early to get me into this one and I only had to pay $250 for the privilege. I put $2k down and pay $350 a month. Purchase price...

Oh, for sure, I know. I think it’s the extra noise that plays with your mind more. :D This rig isn’t for power really, I have my truck for reliability and comfort. The Vette or potential TRX down the road will be the “fun” part. :)

I’ve always gone with the light throttle at the beginning, until around 100 miles, and then mixed driving with some redline pulls once warm for the next 400 or so. Then I have the oil changed. Everyone has their preferred method, and that’s mine. I love to stomp on the throttle to hear that HEMI...

Electronics have a finite lifespan... some less than others. It’s normal in that regard. At least it’s a super easy fix that you could do yourself in 15 minutes if you really wanted to.

If I did my calcs right from the parts list... the swap should be around $1500 all said and done...?

Noise is very subjective in many ways. I was originally a little concerned that my Borla S-type would be too loud, but how wrong I was. It gave me the throaty, mean-sounding and about the right loudness that I was looking for. I certainly wouldn't want to **** off my neighbors anymore than I...

Premium lights would be on the list for me. I modded mine as I was left very disappointed with the look and the light output from factory. Since changing mine, it’s a totally different looking truck and it just looks amazing! Worth the $2k swap alone for its looks and how it makes the roads...

I think I’d be comfortable doing it by hand, definitely not with a buffer. Thank you, guys! I’ll look into some polishing compounds mentioned and maybe spend a weekend in the garage. Time to fire up the gas heater... :D

I’m far too newbie at that to attempt it on my truck. I’d rather pay a pro than totally screw up my paint. :(

Hey guys, While washing my truck this afternoon, I noticed I have a lot of light surfaces scratches that I can only attribute to brushing snow off of my truck. While it isn’t a huge deal, I take pride in having a good looking vehicle and it bothers me that my paint already looks so poorly in...

I haven’t had any issues with mine. Doesn’t matter it there’s an error if they keep working, right?? Clear the errors and see if they return, as said. Truthfully, I think you’re worried about a nonissue. My dealer never mentions anything about codes or errors regarding my lights.

My only regret is not speccing it out with more gear. I’m totally happy with my truck, though. Wouldn’t drive anything else. :D

Sorry to hear that, dude. It’s for this very reason that I run a dash cam in my vehicles! I see far too many morons that shouldn’t be allowed to ride a bicycle, never mind drive a damn car! Yeah, because driving around the block at 25 and making sure you can stop at a stop sign is enough to...

Depends what they cost and whether or not your truck is in warranty. :D

I mean, truthfully, if you’re worried about “wasting” $5 on a filled tank, you’ve got much bigger financial issues. ;) I get my gas at Costco and always get 93. For the sake of 20 cents a gallon... I’d rather have that extra peace of mind! I like to give mine a good beating, especially with my...

Welcome to the family!

I wouldn’t go either. Look at the bigger picture. Once this all blows over... you’re back to wanting a truck and will end up getting one again. Stick with it and let her put a smile on your face when you drive. :)
