Drove it into town, took the old engine block to the scrapyard. Got a driving video of the ram and our messy roads haha. Pics and vid later.

I kept smelling burning rubber every time I tried to start in 2nd gear. Thought it was my clutch, but as I was making a left turn I glanced in my mirror and saw smoke from the tires lol. That engine has soo much power that it spins the tires on dry pavement every time I try to start in 2nd gear!! So that's what my smell was.

^ I think it's more likely that someone was following you and was spinning tire....

Nope. No one was following me. Someday I may get a video of burnouts.
