Default Don't shoot me! I may be getting a Dodge Ram.

Oh god, I can hear all you guys now. I've got the truck bug and I've always liked the looks of the Ram with the sport appearance package and the 20's rims. The one I'm looking at is Atlantic Blue (their light blue), sport package, 20's, tow package, 5.7L V8, 3.92 w/ limited slip, premium cloth interior and a few other things. MSRP is $32,530, I can get it for invoice which is $29,342 minus the $2,500 cash back special Dodge is having now. My cost would be $26,842.. All the dealer needs to do is give me enough for my Silverado, KBB has it's trade in value at $12,400 for good shape and $13,400 for excellent shape. I owe $8,156.42, I want to put $4,000 down with no out of pocket money thus I need enough for my trade in. OK, let the $hit talk begin!

No **** talking, just sell us all of your mods cheap off of your truck. That way you can still save face infront of us gm guys.

Some things will come off but not all, I don't want to go through the hassle, headers and pulleys will stay on. I'll take out the K&N drop in, Volant intake tube, HPP, will sell Predator for code reading purposes only and electric fans.

I may have to, who knows? I don't have the mod bug that bad anymore. Will probably just do the basics, intake, exhaust and tune. Will need to get some nerf bars for my short *** wife and a tonneau cover of some sort. I may just be a cruiser and not a racer, yeah right!
