guess a 1500 5.7 is the way to go, for price and what some of you have said, and fuelly.com, the diesel is close to what the gas is anymore...seems 15-18 is the best i can expect...price wise a 22k truck is more affordable opposed to its 30k brother...thanks- RobS

Mothers "Back to Black"
I've seen the ads, never thought I'd actually be suckered into buying products that don't really work....BUT, now I'm a believer...this stuff turned my dull grey bumper cover almost as black as the day it was installed (with another coat, it should be completely black again), worked on the... -
