Significant Other. More than a girlfriend, but, not 'legally' my wife.

 

Gotcha. Well if you wanna come down here and help me with my gears this summer you are welcome to

 

Personally, I think that would be a blast. I just can't afford to travel...... bummer.

 

Then you can just head west to Sunray, TX and help me put gears in mine

 

Tour the country doing gear installs? That would be fun.

 

*A-hem*

The Dodge Forum is NOT a dating site -- gay or otherwise.

 

True... not enough single women here for my tastes.

 

I am 23 and have had a fascination with everything mechanical since I was 3, I would consider myself pretty adept in the way of mechanics and do all my own work, but like most there is just certain things left to the professionals. Every thing I have learned about vehicles has been from my father and grandfather and other trusted mentors. I first fell in love with Rams when my grandfather bought a brand new 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 CTD and again when my uncle bought a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 CTD 4x4.

I have rebuit countless fronte ends, re-wired completely my 92 Ram (that still does not want to run), taken out and apart rear ends, can not tell you how many A518 trannies I have taken up and down out of my truck ('92), done bodywork. I do not have a problem with diving into my vehicles and coming up with new ideas along the way, I mean come on I am putting a 5.2L magnum and NV3500 in a 1972 Plymouth Scamp, can you say fabrication

 

I am 31, I have had 12 years experience of being a punchout technician for a private builder, did pretty much every aspect of residential building, from pushing a broom in the beginning to running job sites at the end and everything in between.

Mechanically inclined yes, but getting over the fear of these damn engines and things that I am not too familiar with, not so easy. Could I have done my plenum repair? Yes, but it might have taken me a weekend and a lot of labeling to do it.

 

Best way to learn.
