New Truck!! 95 Ram 2500 360
I'm not too new to the forum, just don't get to spend the time I would like on it anymore becoming busy with school and such but summer is coming and I'm getting the itch to start wrenching again.
Well I just picked up a 1995 Ram 2500 from my brother who only had it for the past 5000 miles and with his commute couldn't take the fuel economy with a new job. When he put it up for sale I couldn't pass up on this opportunity..
Specs.
Made in Canada, Only oil Pressure and Temperature are different in the gauge cluster (Pa & C)
198k Miles
8800 GVW, so its the heavy duty series for that year.
Single cab long bed, with crank windows and only power mirrors (Less stuff to break)
OBD1 of course
Dana 60 front, Spicer 60 in the rear, LSD, and both have 4.10 gears, my favorite part.
Power steering cooler
Block heater
Auxiliary Trans Cooler
Little bit of rust but that doesn't bother me much, she runs like a dream!
She does need a little TLC though, I think in the next few months I'm going to do the Plenum as I looked down yesterday and saw a bunch of oil in there, checked the oil level and she was on ADD also... I think while I'm in there I'm gonna change the timing chain as well.
Going to change the differential fluids
Trans was just done, don't know much about 46RH besides almost same as 46RE
But overall, a solid running truck, I don't think the normal person would appreciate the little stuff it has like me, I'm really loving the simplicity, and really built like a work truck.
Paint is a little fading and I think I'm going to get rid of the rims and tires currently 33-12.5-16.5 I want some stock size tires and rims and get all the torque from that 360 and 4.10 combo!
Any input is welcome!
