New to the forum and saw this thread, This is my 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 ST, "Big Red". Bought it stock in 2008 with 160k miles when I was in high school and built it myself with the help of some friends as well. Has a 318 V8 with 201k original miles, stock engine. 46RE auto with shift kit to tow. Has 1 ton coils up front and 1 ton track bar. 3" AAL Rear with Timbren Severe Duty Bump Stops. All around makes a 3.5" Lift. Has a Custom Painted Tailgate with Crossed Dixie/Checkered Flag, painted by me. Has a Custom Built Steel Bed Plate with D-Rings to tie down. LT305/70R16E Fierce Attitude MT on 16x8 DC-2 Wheels. Bushwacker Street Flares. Go Industries Brush Gaurd with Hella Lights and Hidden Hitch front reciever. 2000 Sport style cab lights. I have replaced every body panel other than the doors over the last two years. Has a Reflexxions 2" Cowl Hood. All Basic Interior, rubber floor and all. Yes, it does have tow mirrors, yes I do leave them up. They are manual and a pain to get re-aligned when I put them down. Truck is built to work, I live in PA and have driven it to Northern Maine and to North Carolina, but I now have a 95 12 Valve Cummins with 84k on it I use as a DD so this one has become more of a weekend toy than anything else.

 

Hello again, reserving this post. My pops just bought 39x16s for his dodge(see sig, he is currently running 37s) but one popped so he found some 39s with 70% tread for $500 about two hours away, a steal. will post pic when mounted, also he just bought a RoadArmor bumper, read with winch and tow hooks. Will also post pics of that.

& Nice looking rig BigRed318. My pops is called BIG RED and he has the sticker on his windshield haha

 

I hope your dad has some 60's under that truck, because he will go through drivetrain parts pretty quickly with 39's...also, what gears does he have?

 

My new '93 Cummins Twin Turbo. The nicest first gen I have ever seen. And it has some power.



















It has a 5spd getrag, 205 tcase, South bend OFE 13" 450hp rated clutch flywheel setup, dana 80 rear axle from a '99, 3.54's, 6" Skyjacker lift, 35" Coopers on Eagle Alloys, crossover steering from Sky Manufacturing, AirDog 100 fuel system, 4" straight pipe, Autometer pyrometer, fuel pressure, and boost gauges, PDR Twin Turbo Kit, H1c w/12cm wastegated housing into h3tb non gated 26cm housing primary, Dynomite Diesel stage 4+ injectors, recent injector pump rebuild, recently the PO had the head O-ringed and rebuilt with a new head gasket, 60lb valve springs, valve stem seals and arp studs w/machines rockers. It's built to be reliable under 60 lbs of boost, and is pushing about 50 right now.


It's stupid fast. It runs and drives like new. It poops ridiculous amounts of black smoke. Probably 15k+ of aftermarket work done to it. I paid $8000 cash for it.

 

Sweet truck Wombat! Gonna have to post a video

 

Sweet freaking truck man!!!!!! I cant find a damn thing like that around here.... Im jealous for sure...

 

wish I was rich.....

 

Wombat your selling that to me right? I need a better tow truck so i can sell this suburban .....it doesn match the rest of my cars lol

 

15k and it's yours.

Thanks everyone, this truck is friggin' sweet. I am absolutely thrilled with it. I know I got a great deal too. It seriously drives better than new, everything is in such great shape, and the crossover steering is amazing. It sure doesn't feel like a 250k mile truck.

 

WTF...the price almost doubles...
