i totally agree... my dodge drives like a rock (no pun intended) super good at towing though...... um does 800 dollars seem reasonable for ball joint replacement on a 2010 3/4 dodge? lol it's so nice spending company money

Good! its Just another day at work here lol

Yeah for sure. there are some clean ones out there... its really between a 99-02 dodge and 01-04 chevy both seam to be pretty equally equiped. The only "draw back" is the dodge seams to like to eat trannys lol

Oh I know... one day I might be worthy lol

Bumper pull, If I where going to run a 5th wheel I would get nothing less then a 3/4 ton. I am not in a rush to buy, and may end up waiting for a deal on a 3/4 ton if one comes along. however most need more work then I care for when I first buy it....
