99' RAM 1500 Laramie, 85K, no major replacements, YET!~ It belonged to my grandpa before he passed away and now i own it.

 

1998 quad cab 4x4 5.9 30600 miles original engine the only major replacement was the tranny at 186000

 

1998 Ram 1500 Laramie SLT 1 2 3,000 Rebuilt rear end because a bearing broke

 

I hear ya on the fuel economy portion. But I use my Ram for my business so I'm kinda stuck on that part. I already have to run premium due to the Superchip so it's close to diesel anyway. But on the diesel portion, I'm expecting fuel economy to double and get me up to the 20-24 mpg on the highway which will essentially net me 1/2 price fuel from what I am paying now.

Also, having the only 6.7 Cummins powered second gen (that I know of) in the world is going to be pretty cool.

 

95 ram 2500 xcab 4x4 64k just leaky front right brake calaper and needs new rad now other wise still going strong

 

Not many people want to run the 6.7 due to cost, emission controls, and excessive electronics lol.

if you do get one, delete the EGR immediately. (and DPF if you swap the exhaust)

I would go with an 03-04 5.9L common rail motor myself...very easy to build power out of them and no emission controls!

if you want the quickest starting cummins, get the 2nd gen 24v (vp44). they are a freak in the diesel world as they can start cold faster than any other diesel pickup.

 

I'm already planning the EGR and DPF deletes from the get go. A Steed Speed exhaust manifold, Air Dog, Quadzilla, Amsoil bypass filters...and a few other odds and ends. Nothing over the top performancewise but just a little.
