Default I strayed from the pack...

for 30 days. I've been a life long Ford guy, but lost me mind about 30 days ago and bought a 2016 Ram Ecodiesel. Very nicely equipped, great riding truck and 24 mpg. week 2 it started throwing codes. do a little research and find out there is a class action lawsuit on the smog system. Called up the dealership to discuss and they let me return it for what I paid for it! F-Dodge

Picked up a 2016 supercab 5.0 FX4 lariat, for about the same price as the Dodge with 23k on it. Man it's nice. it's funny how at home I feel driving it. I've only had it two days, so still have to figure out all of the buttons. My wife, who leaves before I do to go to work said to me, you better hide the keys or it'll be mine. lol

Have any fun performance modifications planned for the truck?

Something about the 5.0 makes me want to mod it. LOL I'm thinking a tuner and cat back. I was impressed with the tunes from 5* for my 12 6.7 so I might go with them. I'll look into the others also with recommendations.

I hate the Hankooks, but they're still in good shape so I'll wait on that a while.

I also need to sell my 95 350 powered Jeep YJ I built for some modding money.
