17s all the way , more sidewall the better imo , for looks and ride quality and tires look bigger as well .
As for the RED letters ...I think they look cool on other guys trucks but not mine , because I've seen them turn Pink due to the sunlight [emoji16][emoji16]

Well i dove into this american oil thing and hit bottom fast. As rampent said they all get gas from places you dont want. Some more than othrs but the info is all over the board. Its a big cluster ****. There is no company that only buys american oil. So your best bet is to just buy from an american company (if your so enclined) and swollow the ****** middle eastern gas pill. That way you will be supporting them in some small way.

Opposed Pistons, pretty interesting. One explosion, two strokes. I would imagine they would have to add fuel at the right moment as well. Definitely has potential, I will take a lifetime warranty with that or forget it though.

That engine sounds really interesting but I agree with Burla lifetime warranty mandatory. I think I'd rather have that engine than the gas/electric thing that ram is gonna have.

I know the old 318 Detroit's we used to run were 2stroke diesels and they ran like stripped assed apes. Wonder if they're gonna be running 0/5 oil.

It will most likely be a special unicorn tear oil made from plants as it has to be burned in the chamber.

You ever going to consider a 5th gen?

Absolutely.

Although I hope it's 10/12 years from now.

The best vehicles I've ever owned have been Mopar. My wife ran a Caravan for 160,000 trouble free miles and her 2015 Patriot ( 2.4 / 6 speed Hyundai 4x4 ) has been bulletproof for over 65,000 so far. That thing has a killer AWD system.

One of my first cars was a 1966 Chrysler 300 4 door sled with a 383. I was a hero when I outran a rich kid in high school who had a Camero with a 327 in it......

10 years from now we will be in 6 gen or 7 gen, in fact I don't believe 5 gen to last long at all.

No di turbo, just like the eco boost. alternative fuels will come when necessary, and I believe we will grow our own fuel as opposed to going with electric. vegi oil diesels on way off future for everyone.

Gen 5 is already going to have electric assist. GM tried an electric truck several years ago and it must have been a flop cause you never heard much about it.

you can utilize plant fuels before they take millions of years to end up in the oil soup. It is rather simple, can be used as is, all you need is to warm it, then it works as good as diesel. Painless and endlessly renewable. any vegetable oil will work in any diesel right this minute, just warm it.

I can't believe this price, but 4.4 gallons of vegi oil is 18 bucks. Below ground oil not necessary, time to start preparing. Simple, every diesel will run on this with simple modifications.
