First time Dodge owner / new member

I just bought a 2004 Quad Cab with the Hemi and I am in awe!

My old truck was a 1997 Ford SuperCab 4X4 and I thought I was a Ford man forever. But, when I started searching for a replacement truck I was looking for a more powerful engine than the weak 4.6 Ford power plant and I read a lot about the problems Ford is having with the 5.4 so I was not going to risk buying a life-long problem vehicle.

I looked at Chevy and Dodge and knew the hemi was the way to go by looking at the raw numbers. I found this Ram 1500 with 18,000 miles on it at a local dealer and once I drove it I had to have it! I've already put an OEM aftermarket grille insert in it and have a few more ideas in mind.

I've toured around the forum this morning and already found some good info. Thanks for the contributions of all who are members.
