That's a night time pic of the Dodge. I figured if I posted the one where it was dark no one would be jealous of the Dodge's good looks!!!

Opinions on cab lights (clearance lights on the roof) are welcome. I'm toying with the idea.......

yea i would agree, go with the roof lights. id also chip it, then give it an intake kit, letting those hemi's breathe is a big deal, get some hp out of it and a bunch more torque. as far as that 4.7 goes, well it is a dog, however, do the same thing to it as you would a hemi and it would not only beat the hemi in fuel economy, but performance as well. Just my 2 cents worth, have had several dodges with the 4.7 and the 5.2, never had the hemi, never wanted one. but i do like the new dodge 3/4 and 1 tons, as long as they are cummins powered, however ill take my old ford anyday......its paid for lol

I agree. I wouldn't want a Hemi in a 3/4 or 1 ton. I'm pretty sure they gear them lower (4.10's or so vs. 3.55 or 3.92 in the half tons), I'd still stick with a Cummins. My brother has a 5.9 with a 6sp and it will keep up with our Hemi autos unloaded.........wouldn't be pretty pulling a trailer. Oh well.

I've actually thought about a chip and maybe intake, but for the gains they claim I'm not sure if I could justify the money. Anymore I don't really need it (reminds me I need to run it hard.....blow the cobs out).

The cab lights........it's a possibility!!!
