Yeah, they have dual sniffers for petrol and saki ;-). For the most part they are worthy of praise. At least they are not as proud of their motors as us Hemi guys are.
Good death, find one next time in the 5.3L and get your life back.

I dont know about that. There proud of theres, but they are nice trucks. Most Hemi guys aren't so much proud as they are convinced its the fastest and badest on the road. Hey, I think mine is too, haha. But you get alot of that from any man and his truck. Theres just compassion

5.6L DOHC 390hp and 400 ft/lbs or something around there. They're alright, but the fronts are ugly as sin to me. But they do handle fairly well.

My pops has a extended cab Titan with a volant intake and flowmaster 70 series exhaust, and I'm pretty impressed with it. The transmission is incredibly good (in terms of shift quality,etc), and that extra gear comes in handy. The 5.6 liter feels really tourqey and smooth, and behind the 5-speed there are virtually no dead spots. The ride quality is nice and tight with no float. It doesn't handle like my truck, but the ride is ten times better and doesn't get upset by bumps like mine does. I'd say the powertrain and suspension is the best out there, to come straight from the factory.
