A little background info:

My name is Chris and I'm a certified VW and Nissan Tech, but I work as a Parts Specialist at a Nissan Dealership. I grew up a car ***** driving Nissan's (had a bunch of 240's, Sentra's, etc.) and not one of them was stock by the time I sold it. I ended up in my '06 Titan because of a great deal I got through the dealership I work at. I'm not gonna lie, I loved that truck. I lifted it, put it on 35's, helped it breath better, and even put an iPad in the dash, But the gas mileage was killing me and I had a pretty good drive to work everyday, so I traded that in for a G35. Fast-forward a couple years and the truck bug bit me again. I almost got another gas-guzzling Titan, but I sat in a 2010 Ram 1500 ST 5.7 CC and I was hooked. Full size truck, Hemi, decent MPG, and great styling, whats not to like? So far I'm blown away by this truck and I look forward to long and lifted relationship with it. :smiley_thumbs_up:

Welcome Chris. The Titan looked mean. What plans do you have for the Ram?

I liked what you did to the Titan. I look forward to your modifications to the Ram!

Welcome! I know you know this, but lifting it and putting knobs on it will reduce MPG. I am currently averaging 15.5 dead stock with 1000 miles on mine and 80% highway miles. I can't imagine getting worse.

For sure, but from what everyone says, it won't be anywhere near as bad as my Titan was. Thankfully though, I'm perfectly content enjoying the truck as it sits now, so I'm not to worried about it... yet...

Welcome!

Wife and I were diehard Nissan customers, 2000 Altima, 2003 Altima, 2005 Maxima, 2008 Altima...when they went to the CVT transmission, traded off the 08 as soon as we could. Hate that transmission.
