Default Welp, I'm a Ram owner.

Picked this up from a kid at work for a G. Pretty happy with it. Seems to be mostly there. Def is in need of a tune up and get all the fluids changed before I really start messing with anything. Snowing today or go out and check the plenum. Trans seems -ish, I have to go the whole "let off the pedal to shift" thing sometimes. But all I all it feels like a pretty solid starting point. Start gathering up cans of Blitz Black and get it painted this spring. Not sure why the front bumper was cut, or the weird blue paint, but hey, alcohol. Kinda like the front bumper.

1998 Ram 1500 5.9L 4x4, around ~150k, rust free pickemup truck.

Good lookin' truck though. I rather like the blue.

Heh, yeah.

Been having a blast with it. Feels kinda gutless downlow right now but I'm hoping a tune up fixes that. Guess we'll see.
