Default Got me a newer truck

2000 Dodge 2500 4x4 24v Cummins 6 Speed Manual trans.








I will get more photo's later. I have had the truck for 3 weeks. Has 158K miles, 6 speed manual trans, new clutch, 4:56s, edge juiced tunes, smoke switch, this truck is just a beast. Paid 16,000 cash for it. I got a job, not a whole lot has changed. Growned up quite a bit. Ain't been around much, an sorry for buggin the crap outa yall before. I apologize! Hope ya'll still accept me around here.

Yeah, absoulutly nothing wrong with the 5.2 an nothin is wrong with my new cummins. I am really thinking about getting another turbo for my cummins tho. Since I got a job I wanna put money into my new truck.

Yeah I heard the 6-speeds are a tougher tranny tho arnt they?
But yeah i know im def gonna have to beef up alot of the internals of the trans.
Not gonna do anything to crazy but I am just trying to have the best truck in my high school parking lot haha. Wait I already do... But yeah, trans, an bi-turbo set up, an maybe a P-pump an some 150hp injectors.

That is my dad's favorite 2nd gen Ram. A decked out Cummins with a NV5600 and 4WD. What a beautiful truck!

I'm not usually brand loyal, but I can agree with that!

What is a "smoke switch"?
