Doug, Looks Nice I like it but give me a chance to talk to my Chrysler Technician over possible
Trouble or problem areas. Eric has been a front line Tech for 25 years so he has seen a thing or two.

Doug, Eric says Seat Heaters have several recalls no fix yet they are still screwing around.
If it is a 4.7 V-8 They have head gasket problems. they had a recall over valves too! Ball joints are not up to the job so have a higher than normal replacement interval.
Overall it's a pretty good truck if you can live with those other problems. My only worry would be the Head gasket issue the rest can be dealt with, leave the seat heater off & don't beat the hell out of it 4 wheeling around. Is this a Happy Birthday early? Good Luck pull a car fax on it too!

Major Kudos To You, Good Sir!...
What you've done here for Doug represents the best of what D4C and the Zone is all about: sharing every possible resource with fellow hobbyists/collectors.
More often than I'd like to see on these pages, we sometimes find ourselves arguing over opinions, personal choices, attitudes or taste. I suppose those debates have their purpose.
But when all is said and done, we come to this site, to these pages, to share our primary common interest - our passion for all things automobilia, from the 1:1 to the tiny 1:64 scales.
It's all about sharing. And David, you've made that extra effort.
Thank you. And I hope your effort inspires others here to take that extra step. You've certainly moved me to think about why we choose to gather at this website.

Thank you David. I'll think about this one. It only has 26,000 miles on it and seems to have been well cared for.

I'd take a pass on the Chrysler and buy a Toyota Tundra.

Well said Ed................................:)

Bill, You haven't seen the latest at your local Dodge Dealer?
Why oh why buy a Toyota when you can have one of these, and at the same time helping the AMERICAN economy
14/07/2010 3:39 pm
No Toyota's for me. I only buy American.

Nice Ben, do they make a pick up version? LOL .

Toyota just moved Tundra back to Japan. It has been assembled with Japanese [parts here till 3 mos.
ago when they decided truck production was better in Japan and put the Box (Pick Up Box) on here to avoid import duties. That way they keep more of the dollars(Money-Profit) in Japan
