1997 Dodge Ram 2500 Crew Cab Short Bed
5.9L V8 Magnum
43k original miles
Tow Package, Plow Package, SLT Laramie package
1 owner, local farmer, same dealership I got it at sold it to the first owner 11 years ago and he traded it back in for a brand new 2500.
I'm removing the running boards, tail light covers and plow bracket today.

The engine does have a ping when I'm gassing it good but otherwise it's fine. Used the 4x4 yesterday and this morning and it was great. What all should I do as far as the tranny maintence?
Also, I got the 'eyebrows' and the running boards off this morning. Looks much better. I did notice theres about 10 or 12 bolts to get the plow framing off and I'm not sure if I want to bother with it. Doing a 3" leveling kit with 1.5" blocks in the back, exhaust, intake and programmer very soon. Just have to learn more about each product and what not.
