E-85 makes the 4.7 run like a Hemi!

I bought my 2008 Ram 1500 from the original owner in San Angelo, Texas May 2021. It has the Lone Star package and is equipped for E85 gasoline. It had 63,789 on the odometer when I bought it and it was garage kept while he had it and was in nearly in new condition.It has Bright red paint and 20" rims with the heavy duty towing package. I paid $12,500 for it. Some of you out there are probably thinking ( Dude! You paid 12500 for a used Ram 1500?? ) Well if you saw it, you'd understand. Now, it runs pretty good as it has a performance tuner and a K&N 57 series cold air intake that together they boost the 4.7 from 310 h. p. to 360 h. p. But...... when I put E-85 in it... OMG!! Man, that has to add an additional 25 to 40 h. p. E-85 fuel has around 104 octane which is why my truck runs so much better with it. The only drawback to it is that when you use it your car gets much lower fuel mileage. With regular unleaded my Baby gets 18 m. p. g. on the highway at 75 m. p. h. .On E-85 my mileage drops like a dead goose to 11 m. p. g. It usually costs about 20 cents cheaper that regular unleaded. At the Valero station here in Laguna Park, Texas it's currently 2.89 a gallon). Is it worth it?...... Yeah but it's not practical for everyone, plus you can ONLY put E-85 in vehicles that have the " E-85 " tag on the back of the car. If you try using it in a car that can't use it it will damage your valves.

I have never owned a new vehicle. I purchased a new car for my wife in February, and went to look at a truck for my brother at the dealership. They asked me if I wanted to trade my wife's old suv in. I told them what I wanted, and they had it on the lot. I cannot say enough about this truck. I love the six cylinder engine. I love the rubber/vinyl floors and vinyl seats. I got the one with regular hubcaps, no chrome wheels, and no chrome on truck. This truck is silver, and draws more questions and attention than the trucks that are tricked out with everything. I could not have ordered one and gotten it as close to what I wanted. Sticker was $24,000.00 after rebates, it was in high teens.

So far I owned brand new, a 1996 ram, 2001ram, 2006ram, and now 2008 ram big horn. By far the best truck on the road. Comfortable ride, as well as nice and quiet. Has the MDS system in it which saves gas, although it can use it when you lay on it for the fun. The big Hemi 345 hp engine is great. I am really pleased with this big bad boy of a truck. And very tough to. As well as being great in winter weather. 4x4 is a plus. Works great and has a lifetime powertrain warranty.Seating is confy, but can be tight in the back for long legs. Otherwise, there is no other truck you can add to that makes this beast sound like it does.
Nice truck when not in the shop

Fell in love with the look at the last auto show and bought one. In less than 3 months it has been in the shop 3 times for electrical issues. They keep swapping out parts but I expect more from a new truck that lists for 40 grand. Very disappointed with the problems I have been having.
MDS Stinks

This is the 5th Ram I have owned and I hate it. I gave up my '05 for the '08 because I heard so much about the Multi Displacement System and how much better the fuel mileage would be. The mileage is worse than any of my previous Rams with the old 360. The rpm's constantly go up and down while cruising down the road due to the MDS constantly activating and deactivating. Every time I call a dealer and tell of the problem, they always say something is definitely wrong with it, but then after they waste several hours of my time, they say the computer doesn't show anything wrong so everything must be normal. The seats also stink compared to the '05.
