Flexing?

Post by myoung84 » Mon Aug 18, 2014 2:25 pm

Well, sort of. LOL. This makes me really miss the PW... :(

Did better than I thought it would, but still no PW...

All the flex is in the rear

I only do what the majority of the 4 voices in my head tell me to. In most cases, I ignore two of them because one doesn't speak English, and I suspect the other is talking to someone else.

Yeah, the front had no flex at all. The rear has a sway bar as well but didn't do squat.

I like the color though, kind of reminds me of another truck I know. :lol:

Are you running Gibson Super Truck side exit exhaust or is that stock?

Yes, this is the new truck. I like it a lot. It's a great traveling vehicle, much easier to get the kiddo in and out of, rides way better, and nearly doubly the gas mileage. For what I need, I love it.

The exhaust is custom. It's a Magnaflow 22" muffler and some 3.5" stainless tips that I had custom installed at a local shop. I've got some better pics and a video in my build thread on DT. http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/showthr ... 346&page=3

That's a sharp looking truck! I just got into a Mega Cab (2006) and I am positive that it wouldn't even flex that well!
2008 PW - stock with the exception of CAI, Superchips tune, LED tail lights, bed liner, tonneau cover, bed rug, swing case, and a black magic e-fan with override switch (for now). Now accepting donations for lift and tires!

It's about a foot less. Didn't measure it, not sure why.

Really haven't done a lot to this one, compared to the power wagon at least. Most of the mods were done within the first week. :D

Thanks! The mega is a LOT of truck to flex.

No. I wanted one after test driving but the money wasn't right. Rebates on the diesel were a fraction of the Hemi. That plus the additional $2850 for the engine put it over $6k more. After figuring the extra purchase price and maintenance costs, Def, etc, it would have taken a very long time to break even with the higher fuel mileage. Still very happy with my Hemi.

I understand why you made the truck change, and while I like your new 1500, I could have never given up your Power Wagon for that truck. Your old Power Wagon still gives me very bad intentions!

The new truck is a monster on the street though! The 8 speed, 3.92 gears, and custom Hemifever tuning is a great package! I don't think my rear tires are going to last the advertised 65k miles. ;)

I bet, our new Grand Cherokee with the 8 speed surprised me, keeps it eight in the torque band
