Default look what I got

after 8 years of hard work and 182,000 miles I traded in my old truck for something a little newer. So I got a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. She's got a Hemi,6-speed manual gearbox, 4.10 gears with a limited slip diff. Its got a lot more power than the old 360 I had in the other truck. The gas mileage is better too.

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.

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.
