Three Wheelers Diesel Tanks
Although it looks more like a scaled-down Peterbilt than the outgoing Heavy Duty and adopts many styling cues from the latest incarnation of its smaller brother (Ram 1500), including a more aerodynamic grille and new headlight assemblies, the 2010 Ram HD?s hood, front fascia, bumper and grille assembly are actually unique to the larger truck.Offered in a choice of ST, SLT, TRX, off-road specialized Powerwagon and luxury Laramie trim levels, the current Ram HD is designed to cater to a wide variety of buyers. As a result, prices run the gamut, from a fairly inexpensive $28,165 for a base, regular cab ST 4x2, up to a substantial $51,595 for a 3500 Mega Cab Laramie.
Unlike the Ford and Chevy, Dodge?s Cummins 6.7-liter Turbo Diesel doesn?t require Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) for its emissions system, so you don?t have to worry about filling up an extra tank.
On the outside, there?s a clear indication that the new Ram HD has its sights set on more up-market buyers than before; Laramie models are offered with two-tone paint and plenty of chrome. In addition, a crew cab with larger rear doors replaces the former quad cab and slots between the regular and Mega cab configurations. Pickup boxes are available in 6 feet 4 inch or 8 feet lengths ? the short box with all cab configurations, the latter available with regular and crew cabs only.
Exterior fit and finish are decent, perhaps not quite up to the same level as Ford?s new 2011 Super Duty, but panel gaps are more precise than the old Ram and paint quality appears to be noticeably better. A clever feature (optional on 2500 trucks, standard on 3500s), are the 7x11-inch dual-purpose exterior mirrors that can be rotated upwards for better visibility when towing trailers.
Since the imposition of economic blockade along both national highways by ANSAM, prices of essential commodities have spiraled out of control, especially petrol which is still available in the black market for a whopping Rs. 150 to 170 per litre. Consequent to the announcement by the state government for the rationed sale of petrol and diesel yesterday, serpentine queues stretching 3/4 kms could be seen in most petrol pumps around Imphal area today.
Many of the queues of vehicles, both two and four wheelers, were two days old.
A similar queue at Khoyathong started lining up from the evening of May 24th encompassing more than 48 hrs, among them women and elderly persons.

The fire was mostly extinguished at about 4 p.m., a couple of hours after a Hazardous Materials team and a Technical Rescue team moved into the building and shut off valves that stopped the flow of fuel that were feeding a continuous fire that could be seen for miles across the city. Fire crews also put water on fuel tanks to cool them off to prevent further explosions. About 100 firefighters and dozens of police officers were on the scene.
