i have an 05 hemi, wiht a sled deck and carrys two sleds all the time and i do not baby it..
its got a chip intake and a few other goodies. and air bages.

i just had to replace a wheel bearing on it at 150000km and i think ive done the breaks once.. im 23 and bag it, its never yet let me down. and supprizingly its not too bad on fuel really..

there not a bad truck, the trannys were ok in the gas jobs it was the deisels that had the chitty tranny's. but if you want a quiet ride you will hate the mud grapplers, i just put them on my 08 F350 and it sounds like a cesna going down the highway

 

[sledobsessed]

yes the grapplers are loud...took me for a ride...wow haha they howl...i wish i had some pictures...ill see if i can get the guy to send me some

 

[sledobsessed]

well this is the dodge i am getting

 

[bigz64]

thats a street queen, it needs street tires not those mud tires. i have a chevy same style but an 07.
ur not going to like those headlights in the winter when there is more night than day. those aftermarket halos are good for looks but bad for light. ask and see if he still has the stock headlights

 

[Ancient Sledder]

Oh,Buddy. She's going to need an out of province inspection cuz of the Sask plate. Could be very expensive.

 

[sledobsessed]

i am in saskatchewan so no out of province

 

[rmksledder]

those halos are the worst, i would change those out, my buddy has them on his dodge and its very nerve racking going down the high way, with you doing alot of highway drving i would change them out, yes they look good cruisin around town but not much use

 

[sledobsessed]

he is looking to change them out befor he sells it...either looking for better ones or something differant...those lights are the same as your friends haha

 

[rmksledder]

ya kelby... just put HIDs in it and man are they bright!

 

[sledobsessed]

ya kelby... just put HIDs in it and man are they bright!

how much did he pay for those? ill tell the guy to maybe put those in

 

[rmksledder]

imputting just the bulbs , the conversion kits is way way to much and the bulbs are suppose to last

 

[sledobsessed]

ya im not sure...cause 500 bucks is alot for thise HIDS

 

[rmksledder]

yes very! im waiting for my crappy silverstars burn out

 

[sledobsessed]

so does anybody know a good brand of halos or any type of light?
