Well as some of you may know, i have a bad habit of driving POS cars on there last leg. A couple of weeks ago my father and I had a dissagreement about barowing his truck. For many years I have used his truck to pull my trailer to the track, and tow veicals. Then and there I decided that it was time to grow up and get a veical that had everything I needed. Somthing that could tow, 4X4 for snow and other driving conditions that are less than perfect, room for transporting a greasy engine or tranny, and enough room to take me and my "crew" to the dragstrip or dirt track. After searching for a few days on autotrader I found it. "It" was in ATL GA though. So I flew down and drove back. Everybit of the 9 hour drive, and 130 bucks for gas was worth it.
  Then when I got home another suprise was waiting for me. A couple of weeks ago I bought a new clutch and 1600cc injectors (turns out alky takes alot more fuel than gas). Last time I went to the strip my clutch started slipping 1/2 way down the track. So it was time for an upgrade. From talking to Evil Eagle this clutch will more than suit my need with slicks.

Thanks, I had gone back and forth between dodge, and chevy. I keep coming back to dodge, I've always preferd the styling of the Ram over the C/K pickups. Plus it was a deal I couln't refuse.
