Yes I know its cummins...

Anyway -
Looks like I got a press pass into the North American International Auto Show Monday, and MIGHT be interviewing the CEO of Ram Trucks.

Besides the obvious questions like how much hp will it make if I stack smarty smarty smarty smart mp8 intake banks edge and stacks bigger than your ex-wifes':D, anything other questions?

Does the Chrysler clunk still come as standard equipment? When will the Hemi get spark plugs that dont need changing every 30,000? Why do you rate a 2009 Ram truck to tow 10,000 pounds when it has three major driveline failures towing a 5000 pound camper from RI to Az and ruining my Vacation. You know what nevermind....

Depends on how many stickers you paste on. 2 stickers per smarty are actualy better then NOS. MP8 will slow you down. Can't say what the Banks will do but I would try 3 stickers per Banks to be safe.

Ask him why they have to use the chevy slogan to sell them.

I saw a commercial that said the Ram was the longest lasting and most durable truck.

Umm that has been Chevy forever it cant change in one year. Hell I see a hell of a lot more old Chevy's on the roads then a Dodge. Also if the truck is no longer a Dodge but just a Ram it is only what a year or so old so it cant be longest lasting.

X2!!! You never ever ever ever see old dodge trucks driving around! Shit i see 1980's chevy everyday of the week around my place but the oldest dodge you will ever see is like a 199-2000 model. IMO they are 10 year throw away trucks

Now that you guys mention that, it makes sense. I rarely see older dodges. My dad BFF has a 95 dodge with the 5.2. That damn thing is BEAT UP and falling apart like some old jallopi..... But it turns on and drives. He also has a 05 cummins, thAt's his baby, only had to replace the trans and brakes in 60k. If you ignore all the interior rattles and the bad window motor/power mirror too I'd say it's done well

I read that they rams were getting a 8 speed trans, and a cummins v6 and v8 was delayed until 2013-2014 except for military use

read about a hybrid plug in ram too.



So, maybe ask : what improvements have been made to the interiors?

Come on guys. 80% of all Dodge trucks are still on the road today...the other 20% made it home!

I still say if they get a better auto trans they will have the best overall package of the big 3 for new trucks

First...

Id recommend they fire the guy who designed the hemi and 4.7 L dogs..

Then I would ask why their fuel economy SUCKS..

Then if he still wanted to talk to me, 'Why does a dodge always need painted?'

And maybe ask "how his Duramax is running?'
