I agree it was a good deal. However 2 months later I have over $4000 in it (including purchase etc). It's looking pretty good in my opinion though.




Kinda dirty, taken just now.
Overall I think your paint is better then mine haha

Thats still a lot cheaper then trucks in worse shape would go for up here :-P

Looks good man, gonna mod it to what the other 1st gen cummins ya had was like?

@Spillage- Ahh fair enough, still might be worth doing. And fair enough on the CPS.

I looked at an 01 1500 ORE. Almost identical to my old red one. Guy wanted way to much for it though.

That only happens to me when I buy new tyres... can go for years without a nail, but buy a new set of tyres and I'll get one within a month.

Charges the A/C tonight... it was still running cool, but cutting in and out on a short cycle... figured the charge was getting low, and it was... put a can of Arctic Freeze in, and all is good again.

Played with the mess of wires I left before winter to wire in my fog lights and absolutely no luck(tried a few different configurations with the relay.) Last time I played with them, I almost set the truck on fire, so I think I just may remove them all together lol.

Took it back to the shop to get the tire fixed....again. It was flat this morning.

Turns out there was a small rock that had pierced through.

Hopefully it won't be flat in the morning!
