Funny that you mention heavy, because I just had it on a scale a few days ago. Clocked in at 6500 lbs. I have a friend with a QC/LB '98 24v Cummins, and he weighs just under 7500 lbs with smaller tires. These 1st gens are much lighter than the newer trucks. But to answer your question, I had it in 4lo and 1st gear, and it idled itself right up the hill at a crawl.

1st gen being lighter I can understand. DOT registered my 76 at 4500lbs and my truck at 5500lbs.Originally Posted by Wombat Ranger

New guy here, signed up awhile ago for help with a couple of problems. I have really got interested with messing with my Ram lately, so I'm trying to be more active

Here's some pics of my Ram:




I had these nice LED lights but a friend put a hole in one's clear plastic housing with a gate.

Looks nice, looks nice.
Personally, I prefer the factory lights better. I've never found an aftermarket light that looks nice, but eh, whatever floats your moat.
