Silver is my second least favorite available color :/ But at least it's not beige. If anyone in here has a beige car and they were offended by that... good.

Also I read the other day that it's an aluminum block, which was really surprising to me because I've always thought of Diesels as being especially heavy.

I think it'll be perfect for what you're using it for. How do the transmissions hold up?

Nice Adam. I would not go bigger than 33's. 35's I think are too much for a modest lift and stock gearing.

You're too much for stock gearing.


Transmissions are stout. Some have reported to have a water seapage issue around the dipstick, which can contaminate the trans fluid and cause shuttering at high speeds. Fix is: silicone around the dipstick tube and a trans service, I think I could handle that if I eventually have that problem.

When are you picking it up?

Diesel is the way to go, since the tune and toys to my beast im averaging 20 city 24 highway 1200ftlbs is nice too :)

Those Srt8's look nice i will say. You can't go wrong with Diesel except those assholes raising the price of fuel for us.

Yes, but you can make your own diesel (if you're mental). I looked into it once, it works out to well under a dollar per galloon. Down to like $0.30/gal if you can get free greese from loca restaraunts, etc.

You can make your station on the relatively cheap.



Or go gucci.
