I have had mine for a little over two months now, great truck. The one I got was packaged up great for me, jet black with just enough chrome and 20 inch rims. The crew cab is huge, sure I gave up a little bit of box area for the crew but it's not really a big deal for me. The MPG for me has been around 15 city, I haven't had it on any road trips yet to give a hiway MPG. And yes it's got a Hemi!!!

I have a 2010 1500 QC and have to say I like it a lot I have had a 2003 and the mileage was not that great plenty of power though than I went with a cummins in my 06 2500 great truck as well just didn't need that much power and torque for anything and the price of diesel went threw the roof. Now I have about 25000 on my 2010 and I have to say its one of the nicest trucks I have had tons of power my milage is around 15-16 combined city highway driving the MDS really helps the rear 4 link is much better than I thought it would be nice ride and great looking truck.

I have a 2011 that I got last July. 13,000 on it so far. I get around 16-17 mpg with it. Seems to get worse milage in winter. Best I saw was 18 mpg.

So far I love it. Not a single issue. Not counting the person who ran into it a couple weeks after I got it. mad

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
