    Traded In The Truck Today...

    After much deliberation I decided it was time to trade in my baby.

    She was a great truck and I'm really going to miss her.

    One last pic of the old girl



    I traded for a 2019 2500 Laramie Longhorn with the 6.4L HEMI, 8sp trans and 4.10 gears.

    I am amazed at the power and throttle response of the new power train.

    Greg that’s a real nice looking truck and with the 4.10’s it will get your camper moving easily.

    Could you share your reasons for making the switch into a gas rig?

    Thanks!

    The main driver was price.

    Don't get me wrong, I loved my diesel, especially once it was tuned by DRD.

    But no more than we pull our camper, buying another diesel just wasn't a priority this time.

    Add to that all the positive reviews on the 6.4 - 8sp trans combo and it was a pretty easy decision.

    It will be a couple months before I pull the camper so hopefully I won't be disappointed when I do.

    I can say this though, this truck flies off the line.

    I'm having to retrain my right foot to take it easy off the line.

    Believe me, I surprised myself with this decision.

    My purpose for initially driving a gasser was to prove to myself that I needed to stay in a Cummins.

    While not the same, the truck really drives 'that' good and no emissions bs to deal with.

    First tow yesterday with the 6.4Hemi!

    Overall very impressed.

    Man does this new truck ride smooth!

    High Point to MB is pretty flat so hardly a test but man was it a comfortable ride.

    I filled up right before hooking up the camper... 210 miles to the campground, 7.8 MPG averaging 65-70 MPH.

    I would average 10MPG making this same trip with my Cummins.

    Glad shes able to get you where you were going.
    I think I would miss my exhaust brake too much to get rid of mine.
    Pic makes it look to have a bit of a squat... air bags in the future?
