mmmmm...my hemi is a 2004 ram with 3:55 gears is very lazy around town.its so bad i can hardly keep up withan old tired honda civic with an automatic tranny.

sherri,s f150 4x4 with a six will easily run away from it in town and is better on gas.

in my opinion dodge made a mistake with these. the hemi is built to turn a lot of rpms and then they give it crappy gears and a lousey  tranny thats always shifting up instead of down.

its a shame they couldnt build the rest of the truck to handle the engine ,it would sure be awsome if they did.

ive had 3 dodges in a row and this is the last one for me.

its been a real dissapointment to me and now sherri wont even drive it now,she says she would rather walk.

I thought the flash worked?  Did the dealer flash it and you do to pedal trick?

Maybe they will get it right with time...........The first $#%*mins powered TD trucks were destroying drive lines by the boat load too. They eventually got the rest of the truck up to par with the motor.

I'm not much for brand loyalty, but I wanna see which one of these bad boys really works! I see the big block Chevy unit is out on the loose and presumably either ran out of fuel or snow or both! The Dodge still looks pristine in the showroom. I think these guys should man up for a 'blow off" to separate the men from the boys! I would pay to see that action going down...
