8 days in the shop because a tranny cooler line snaped off inside the radiator. they finally get the conector in and they forget to order a radiator. i dont want to get into it to much.


now ive been driving on a 2003 DODGE 2500 hemi. 4 door short bed.


my comparisons.


ride goes to the d-max.


power d-max


sound hemi


handleing d-max


gasmilage d-max


stock radio hemi


i like the 4 doors on the dodge but back seat comford goes to the chevy


driver seat confort chevy all the way.


instument cluster chevy


looks are about even


featurs i like the chevy better. ie power window buttons and miirors.


i like the seat of the chevy but the center conshold(sp) of the dodge. the mirrors on the dodge are great. i liked how short it was too but its not for work.


now i didnt put 100 miles on it i put over 900 almost 1000 miles. and this isnt the first time i drove it but its the first time i put that many miles on it with one visit.


i found that the plastic in the dodge wasnt the greatst and it want as well made as the chevys. i noticed this when i vacumed the interior. the truck was quiet except for the exhaust witch i didnt mind but it was a good truck.


its a pig on gas. 12.5 around town and i took it easy. the more i beat it the more it went up 13.3 on the highway at 70-75 i got 13.5-13.7 at 75-80 it got 14-14.5 and at 80 even it got 14.7. its a weird truck as for gas milage.

Thats terrible mileage for a small block.
