Last month I was at work for about a hour an half in Las Vegas, NV. I was about to walk into a meeting when I got a call from my wife, who was currently in Dallas, TX, that her mother had passed away. My next words were "I'm on my way." After getting an oil change I hit the road as fast as I could. 1,200miles on my 140,000 miles 2006 Dodge Hemi. I thought I was going to blow something while driving through the mountains. I never went below 100+mph. The truck just had so much more to give even in high gear.

The speedometer is off by 7mph. Due to the larger rims it came stock with.

I made it to her in 16 hours flat.

I'm utterly speechless by the performance my truck has shown me.

I'll never get rid of it.

I'm glad your truck came through for you. After Katrina I had to stay in MS while my wife was in TX, so any chance I could get I was flying on I-10 for the 10 hrs each way. Did this a few times in between patrols. Only problem I ever had was losing to a Silverado SS before I got my programmer and better tires (damn 105 governor).

Not once! I have a Cobra Radar.

With a 1/2 mile range on it.

I know. I'm slowly getting new parts to replace everything, IE: Fuel and water pumps, Throttle body, Performance radiator,...etc.

I'm just trying to dodge getting a new motor and transmission for as long as I can.
