Other Got myself a new ski hauler, it's a bit of a fixer upper though...

I love my ram, I went from a 2002 H.O 2500 6spd to a 2011 megacab in fall of 2010. Can't say anything bad about the cummins

I've owned quite a few Dodges over the years, some better than others. My 04 Cummins is the only one I had any serious complaints with but it was an ex work truck that was used and abused in the Alberta Oil Fields for one winter and one spring before I bought it. Lesson learned.

Also owned;
94 Ram SLT 2500 4x4 V10,
95 Ram SLT Laramie 2500 4x4 V10,
2004 Ram SL QC 3500 4x4 Cummins Dually,
2008 Ram SLT LAramie Mega Cab 3500 4x4 Cummins SRW,
2002 Ram SL QC 1500 2wd with 4.7

Nice, Lol. It was supposed to go with the big lift and tires but I decided to pay it off instead. Other than the blue/silver truck, the rest were all purchased with cash and started my 12 year run without a truck payment.

The first white Ram had a custom pearl paint job and to this day is my favorite truck. My buddy owned it since new, dressed it up and then traded it in for $24k. It sat on the lot for over 2 years before I made them an offer of $10K cash and stole it. It had over $20k worth of warranty work done to it including a brand new engine. I drove it for 5 years, only put $1500 into it and sold it for $7k. Top speed was 235km/hr. Not bad for a 3/4 ton 4x4. I still regret selling it and would own another in a heartbeat.

Glass a bubble in that tonneau, problem solved. :bananalama:

Gathering parts for the next upgrade... Power windows, doors, mirrors and overhead console.

Even found some flashy parts out of an SRT-10 to brighten up the interior.

Those buckets are nice but they come with a hefty $$ tag. Plus they say SRT-10 on them and I think that putting them in a V6 truck is too much of a poser move.

However, I did strip the V10 emblems off my 94 and replace them with V6 emblems. It sounded like a V6 so it was almost believable but it sure got some looks when I left the line.

Well after many hours of toiling in the garage and several setbacks, my conversion is complete. I now have power windows, doors, mirrors, keyless entry, overhead console and auto dimming rear view mirror.

Reinforced the bulkhead and installed my bed rack this past weekend and hauled a couple ski's down to Tybee Island GA. Truck handled great but once again, the mileage is about 1.5MPG less with the V6 than the V8.

I was going to pull a trailer but they are doing work to the ramp and are non longer allowing trailers so I was forced to pull the tonneau and haul the ski's in the bed.
