After 8 very long weeks took delivery yesterday on my first Ram (2nd Dodge):
05 QC 2wd SLT, 4.7 w/the 6-spd manual.
Bright Silver Metallic with leather slate gray interior.
Stock 265/70/17 tires and chrome clad wheels.
3.92 ratio. 4-wheel ABS. Chrome bug deflector.

No pics, because I'm sure you guys have seen many like it.

But to me, just beautiful!! And I'm damned thrilled to have it.

Thanks for the warm welcome. No pics yet, but will post later.

Byrdawg13 - got to agree with Andy, Stick shifts do rule. Low friction point engages immediately, great control, very smooth shifts, relatively quick off the line and great mid-range acceleration (even though its not a Hemi). Pretty much everything I've asked for. We'll see how durable it is over the long term. I do have some peace of mind with the 7/70 if issues do arise. My other truck is a 00 Dakota with the 5-spd and I've got to say that I'm liking this 6-spd better so far (150 miles).

Mods to come: Line-X, tonneau cover (not sure which one yet), will probably drop the rear to level out(Slammed1. I know.), nerf bars, CAI & exhaust possibly (jury's still out on these performance mods).

Freelantz- Aspen was my 85 lb Samoyed. Come to think of it we did have a '78 Aspen R/T, black with orange racing stripe and rear spoiler. Got to drive it in high school.
