OK well I gotta know how does it ride? Smooth/rigid? What does it run in the 1/4

Fuel economy?

I'm leaning that way. That looks sweet!

Congrats man!

yeah, i like that silver. blue was my first choice, then it would have been a close 2nd place tie for silver or black. probably would have went silver just because it's 10x easier to keep looking good.


txcamss, mine is firm, but not harsh. it doesn't handle like your average SUV. when i drive my mom's Yukon from time to time you can definately tell you're in a top heavy SUV. this handles alot like a car, not quite as well obviously, but it'll hang with most cars in most corners.

1/4 is about mid 13s across the board. that's about what stock 2wd runs and AWD runs after a tune. some a little more, more are a little less, but that's a nice average number.

fuel economy isn't that bad in my opinion. i get about 22 on the highway if i drive around the speed limit. but even at 80 (with the rpms sitting around 2650) i get about 18/19. in town is, just a close guess, about 15/16 if you drive it normally. of course it's hard to drive it like a grandma all the time so expect lower teens lol

That's a pretty darn good personal evaluation and exactly what I was looking for.

Time to do a little shopping

Another happy new TBSS owner here. Picked up an '07 1ss in jewel red 2 weeks ago. Love it. Bye-bye to the '03 Ram, was a nice truck but the TB is a little more fun to drive.
Now I need to start with some mods.
Free mods only for now...wife still hasn't cooled down from the "rebuild" cash spent on the Z28.
