At the dealer for an oil change, there's a Tremor in the show room. All black and other than being too high in the air, looks good. Sticker is 41,400.

Take it for a drive, that way you can see how a real engine runs.

I asked to take it and they said it had a problem with bogging down and a shudder when accelerating. They're waiting on a factory tech to work on it.

The factory tech looked at it and said the only good fix was to swap in a 5.0.

Yep. But it has a fancy decal trim, nice leather trim FX2 interior, and the EB. Oh, and 20" wheels.
