going back to an auto after all these years , is not to hard to do. having a auto (68rfe) that shifts so many times is :thumbsup: . the factory exhaust brake is the nicest option to be added IMHO. the 6.7 is ultra quiet. almost have to ask myself if it is running. towing mpg is what I consider good for a new diesel. they seem to take 10-15,000 miles to come around. towing the sleds in my haulmark ,which is not light, got around 10mpg . I found the same coming home with the truck ,which is a load by itself, let alone the trailer I hauled it on. going up with the trailer I got 14.8 mpg. that seems to be what it gets around town. one thing I did not like was the engine light for low coolant temp :cussing: . in the cold weather we had it did not come up to temp fast enough. a software issue that needs addressed. no loud pusher pump is a thing I am not used to, and will take time too. I liked having that insurance I was pushing fuel to the cp3(high pressure pump), something dodge needed long before they changed to in the tank pumps. for the most part I really love the truck and the towing with the new tranny is great. I just drop it in tow/haul with the brake on and go. :thumbsup: just under 2000 miles and most have been towing. I think the triple axle heavy equipment trailer weighs as much as my sled trailer loaded, just minus the aero disadvantage of the haulmark. I know the silver truck tips the scale around 7,800lbs with a tank of fuel. interior well who cares? LOL

I forgot the headlights suck.

I know I was feeling like I needed a new truck while riding home in yours last week. :) That exhaust brake is a great addition.

pic of the new haulin' the old power house. if I keep it and put a stack through the hood this will be a regular sight w00t . well I would use a goose neck, I did not have a hitch put in this truck to do so, yet. b+w hide a ball of course :wink: . I planned on putting it on backwards to put the weight over the axles,. but the tailpipe prevented that. it towed nice with the weight right there.

Nice truck. :thumbsup: My dad just ordered an 08 ram with the 5.7, we just don't tow enough anymore to need the diesel. Used to have a '90 ram with the cummins, thing was a beast. Would haul anything you could throw at it, and got good mileage. Should have kept it. :(
