So I didnt get the Cobra......

After being on leave from Iraq I realized with a kid etc that I didnt need a 600+rwhp Cobra anymore. With me buying a house soon,living in the south,beaches etc a Cobra just isnt what I need now.

So I got 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT Mega Cab 4x4 Heavy Duty with of course the Cummins Turbo Diesel.6in Superlift lit kit,Superlift hydrogen shocks,Pro-Comp 35s,18in Weld wheels. The truck is sick. My dad has an 06 as well and says mine probably has a chip/tune because it pulls harder and longer then his does now. Also I still get about 20-21mpg doing 55-60mph.

Well heres the pics

yeah forgot to add those in too haha..not sure if i want the long ones that run all the way across or the single steps for each door.but i do need them,the wife does have trouble getting in it lol.

im 5'8'' not too tall and i have to jump to get in..i have trouble washing the hood lol..but its great truck.that turbo diesel actually has some great power.and i get looks in it all teh time when i was home.

i paid $33,985 for it with only 22,000 miles..and has ac,leather,pw,pl,power rear window,power seats,the damn back seats recline!i can pretty much stand in teh back seat.feet on floor board and im barely ducking from the roof..the pictures dont do justice.the inside is massive

WOW bro. I vividly recall being on a one on one PM almost daily about you trading the Evo for a 335i, then you rolled the dices with the Cobra to finally ended with the Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel... I just don't see the pattern bro..

Nice truck by the way, I am sure you can pull a tree from its roots but I am sure the 12mpg in city will make you think twice.

Lots of my military friends do the same thing when they come home on leave. So random.

gas cost about $150 to fill it up,but Id never let it get that low. My dad fills up when the tank reads 3/4 full and he averages a good 210miles for every quarter tank used. So I can go about as far on a quarter as my old evo did on a full tank. Yeah the gas cost more but it last a hell of a lot longer. So its not bad. And I do love that turbo diesel sound!
