1/2 ton

truck now has 133k on original front end. all i have replaced is the center link on steering. granted the 5.9 has only been in about 30k. replaced link before 5.9. truck is nose heavy but handles as good as my 90. would do it again in a heart beat.

But it's not as many ponies as the Hemi and not as much torque as the SRT-10... It's all about selecting the right drivetrain components and controlling the power application with computers...

We'll see I guess then when they start making chips and programmers now you taking 300hp and 500lbs and making it 450hp and 800lbs. Whats that smell?? Smell's like CARNAGE! Not saying it's the manufacturs fault but I hope it works out for them.
