New 4.5

O.K, got off of work today and had an appointment with the truck salesman. was supposed to be getting a molten red 4x4 4 door 2500. Got to the dealership and found another one in black with dark gray interior, fell in love. Talked to the man for a few minutes and ended up trading in my 03 for the 4.5. Drove it home and I love it. Seems to ride a little smooter than my 3500, not so jumpy. Has good pickup and is really quiet. The overhead said 9.5 when I got in at the dealership and has picked up to 12 on the 90 mile ride home. Thats right, 90 miles to find a good dealership that will work with you. Anyways, I hope the milege comes up some, at least to about 15 average. Will be happy with a little less, love the truck. Hope everyone out there has the same experience with theirs, RG.
