Sweet looking truck, enjoy her.

[captpete13]

thanks guys. Phat.. I have been a mopar fan my whole life. I started with a 68 DartGT then a 66 Charger then I got into trucks so I had an83 pickup with 35" tires then an 87 Ramcharger then my 99 Ram and now this. In between I had various vw's also. so for me its mopar or no car...unless its a VW

i had a 72 dodge van slant 6 w 3 on the tree, 76 dodge van with 4 on the floor, then a 64 dodge PU with a slant 6, then a 82 van with a 318 and finally an automatic. then a 87 PU with a 318 , put over 300,000 on it. now i've got a 96 with a 5.9 with over 225,000 on it. they make great work trucks, cause you can get them cheap and they last forever. down side is the gas mileage and resale.

thats true. Hows the tranny on your 96. I put three in my 99. Thats why this one has a manual. And I gave up snowplowing.

[phatdaddy]

on my second one, first one at 112,000 and got 113 on this one. i'm keeping my eye out for a late 90's diesel.

was your other one a 4 door?

DODGE uses a completely different trans now than your 99 did, and they have proven VERY reliable(probably more so than some of DODGES manuals in there gassers). Nice truck though, now get some pics of it hooked to the boat earning it's keep.
