I really hate to generalize, and I know that not everyone over there is like this, but a lot of those guys are so pro-Dodge/Hemi and anti-Brand X it's silly!

You said it very, very well Gonzo! My response is in the thread, I kinda stopped using "Hemi" recently ( of course, STS implies Hemi on a NBS Dodge Ram anyway, not to steal your thunder Jerry ). BTW I am ktm520exc over there.
AQC/Chad has been getting his STS licence and first kit recently. Busy with that and personally I think disgust with the DTW site in general. I am converting to the HemiTruckClub site due to a more intelligent group of folks there. Kinda like when this site got formed from the dislike of the other site with "LS1" in its name....

I had some more fun comments to read this morning on my post, I had gentlemanly retort. I may be done with DTW, or at least I will stay out of the HEMI forum. I will read to see what can be done with my "truck" but I may not post much, don't need this **** for going against the grain. Hell most of them can't even spell Vortec right, they spell it Vortech as in the blower but they "know" the engine isn't ****. I really like my Ram (no disrespect intended here) but miss the information I could get on LS1TECH to mod my truck. Every site has a few gunghoers (sp?) that will jump on you for driving another brand but good God, I drive a Ram and I still got trashed for not being brainwashed about "THE HEMI".

Its ok. I tried to register on the other Dodgetruck club site and I am getting deleted. I guess you HAVE to own a Dodge to post there.

That thread gave me a headache. You'd think after a while even the diehard Dodge guys that owned one would get tired of hearing the word "HEMI". I can't take it anymore.

Either way, you have to hand it to them. They have alot of pride driving a truck with a ton of hype that really cant compete in the performance market.
I mean, seriously, with nitrous they can keep up with modded 4.8 and 5.3 trucks or those with equivelant nitrous setups. Im not bashing, I just dont see the source of this superiority complex and unfounded pride.
