I pulled a camper 200miles on a 1/4 tank of gas. Just made it to my destination. I plane to move the alt. over to the smog pump location to eliminate the ac compressor without spending money. And for some wierd reason my truck seems to be running way better than when I first got it

And the rear This was taken before I fixed the right stripe because it was slimmer than the left by about an inch they're now all even.

Thanks guys. I used to have red stripes on it before but they were pretty much thrown on and so crooked and far apart from eachother. Wish I could find a picture from when I did that. This time I actually took my time to center them and measure them. I think they look a lot better.

It's funny everytime I tell people I paint my truck myself at home they get a how the heck look.

Well, after work I washed both Dakotas, the Power Ram, The Ram, and my wifes car.[ Not a Dodge so not worth mentioning!]
