Hey what's up everybody?! Just checking in here from beautiful sunny Florida.

I picked up the '13 Express and -

where do I even begin?

It's nice. I definitely like it. But my gosh this thing is SWIMMING in torque management. It rides like a V-hull boat in long period 4 foot seas.

I like to take a little coffee in the morning and bs about these trucks. I came from the SRT-10 Forum. I'm here in Orlando if anyone needs anything scouted or looked at.

I need to get some. Nah- no 8 speed. I asked at Orlando Dodge about it - and yeah - I could of waited. I had to get out of the SRT-10 Viper Truck. IT was killing me on fuel. I did get the 3.92 gear limited slip on the new one which is cool. That's the same gear we used to have in the little RT Dakotas. Back in the day.

Welcome from Daytona Beach! I'm in Orlando everyday for work, but I don't drive the truck.

Man guys I gotta tell you - I am so completely happy to be out of that SRT-10 that was getting 9 mpg. I'm in advertising and I was running $700 a month in fuel. Every single month.

Welcome to RF! Yea, I'd imagine 9 MPG really hits ya in the pocket book!
And yes, the torque management is terrible, as are the stock torque converters.
