But yes, hammer on a bare piece of aluminum with a hammer used for steel.....bad shit will happen.
Nice to see a few other good looking Rams
The Shop
2001 Ford F-250 4x4 crew cab 7.3 diesel
2007 Toyota Tacoma crew cab V6
2007 GMC "classic" (06 body style) V8 standard cab short bed
2011 Dodge ....uh, I mean "RAM" quad cab puny V8 4x4 base model
None of those gasoline trucks get more than 3 mpg better than my diesel. The big monster truck comments tend to crack me up when few other trucks get much better mileage and can't do nearly the work.
The stripped down Ram is an extremely nice driving vehicle though. Pleasantly surprised. Not to mention it was a leftover vehicle and was discounted from $33,000.00 down to $21,000.00. Smokin' deal for a brand new 4x4 with factory warranty. Vinyl seats and rubber floor mat worked out great for fish boy.
I'm personal friends with 5 people who work at the plant and I know for a fact when they are at work, they aren't "working" for a good 3 to 4 hours on an 8 hour shift. One of my good friends goes in at 7am, runs on the treadmill for an hour or so, then does a little work starting at 9am. This is 100% true story.
Do all the workers there in all departments get away with this? surely not. But all the 5 I know do. every last one of them. It's just the culture there. Wonder why those new trucks are in the 40's and 50's $$? Labor plays a big role in that.
My next door neighbor works there. He goes in at 4am. When I leave for work at 7:30am, he is pulling in his driveway with a new truck right off the line "testing the alignment" he says. Sum bitch hangs at his house for a good hour or longer, then drives back to work. Sometimes he runs errands on his way back to the plant.
The stories he tells of how little most people work just kill me. Oh, gotta get going, we're leaving for our lake house now....that is how our last conversation ended.
am I jealous? a little....
I kid, I kid
There is already a good bit of aluminum out there but this will be a big step being such a popular vehicle. It won't require "two entirely different setups" but it will require a good bit more attention to detail as well as some new equipment and training.
I am wondering how they are going to control slipping of the rear tires with that light of a truck.

The new F150 can NOT be anywhere as bad as the s10. It will be fine. In fact, I'd bet you could lose another 500 pounds (overall, not just the bed) before you start having to worry about traction issues.

Sorta like 2 stroke dirt bikes, everybody really needs to make those again
