I add about 6oz. per tank full.I got behind 1 of those smart cars the other day. The back window had a sign Thad read.... You Were Just Passed by a 3 cyl. I went around it and showed them a little smoke. It was at that time I wished I had a sign in my back window that read. You Were Just Smoked By a 6 cyl :laughing:

My '01 Dodge likes to drive in front of Honda Prius cars and turn up the tuner and make the Prius disappear in a cloud of black smoke. It's fun and always gets a laugh from those who witness it. All except the bleeding heart in the prius,

It's still a dodge made by a company that has gotten a bailout twice in thirty years and has seen numerous owners. In 5 years what will be worth more a ford, Chevy or Toyota. Fiat now owns dodge not to confident the Italians know how to build a pickup truck

Funny you say that - When I went to sell my Tundra I learned very quickly it had a hard depreciation curve - looks like about the same as all the others.....
Also seems the diesels hold their value fairly well, no matter the make - heck the used Dodges with similar equipment) we seen locally were only 2-3k less then then brand new one I bought

I think they misspelled the name on all those Toyota pious vehicles I see going slow in the left lane of traffic.

I drive a Ford diesel truck, but my tractor is a New Holland(Fiat)... Pretty sure the Italians know how to build equipment, truck or otherwise. I'd drive(and have driven) a dodge diesel, no ifs, ands, or buts...

I recall back in the late 60's and early 70's Fiat was "Fix it again Tony". Had an 850 back then, had a 6-7 gallon gas tank, and got great mpg when it was running, but found out that I could pull the motor in 20 minutes, because of all the practice. Understand the new ones are much better.

I don't look at as buying a Dodge. I bought a Cummins with a Dodge wrapped around it:laughing:

Thats pretty funny! You know to be honest 8 years ago I would never have bought a Dodge - BUT - it seems they have made massive improvements and after putting a LOT of miles on two Dodge work trucks and not having any problems I am a changed man. I been really pleased with their trucks and personally feel they are the best looking ones out (Sorry Ford and Chevy guys - no offense)
