I don't have enough confidence in my ability to evaluate a car on the fly to be willing to deal with a place like this that I am not familiar with. And no way could I do a PPI up there. So, either take a leap of faith, or find someone that actually knows what they are doing!
these cars never seem to pop up close to me. Or when I am actually looking to buy.

Given that the Broncos were out of town, I was able to cruise at 70-75 on I-25 all the way to my destination.
When I got to the parking lot, I took this picture of my dashboard info center, showing the trip MPG:

I have no idea how much this matters, but there is a 700' decrease in elevation when I drive to Denver (5900' in my town, approx. 5200' in Denver).

The first year of the 8-speed automatic with the Hemi was 2015.
Previously, it was available with the V6.
The 2014 V8 had the 5-speed auto.

Bought a 2015 - partly for this reason...

Shifty, in my experience, it is same side (e.g., if you turn right and hear it, then it is passenger side CV joint). I don't know that the phenomenon is universal though. I've only had to replace CV joints on Subarus. I also replaced both front half-shafts on a friend's Nissan pickup, but his were both so bad that it didn't matter which way he turned! Hahha
@nycarguy - I love the new railing! Iron pipe FTW! Of course, given your business, that should come as no surprise! Hehehe. We used a similar design for the ladder and grab bar for my son's bed. Wasn't particularly cheap, TBH, but it was easy to build!

I might try this. Looks simple enough to jack the Pilot up, lift up the dust cover and apply some grease. If that doesnt work, then I'll bring it to the mechanic and see if he can diagnose.

Funny story from lunch today - I took my accounting team out for a nice lunch as a "thank you" for their hard work this year. Came back to our work garage, I parked the Durango next to my wife's Volvo. One of the accountants exclaims, "that is the ugliest color on a Volvo I've ever seen!"
I reply with a genuine smile, "Uh, Rita, that's my wife's car."
Oh boy, she was so embarrassed, though I assured her that it was absolutely hilarious. Everyone got a good laugh out of it. And someone made the good point that the new temp tag should have been a dead giveaway that it was one of our cars.

Off topic, but that's part of why the election predictions (yeah, a year ago) were so far off.

But no, I wouldn't spend that kind of money for it. It does go to show how much I genuinely like my Durango, since the object of my lust is simply a different version of it.
Truthfully, I don't care all that much about the increased performance over the R/T, I just like the cosmetic changes for the 2018 model - the more aggressive hood and grill and the replacement of the transmission shift knob with a more proper lever. And for what it's worth, those styling enhancements on the SRT are shared on the R/T model too.

Though, I suppose that is equivalent to the Grand Cherokee SRT.
But, now you can get the GC Trackhawk, with the 707HP engine from the Hellcat.
Where will it end?
