Hi all,
I usually hang out with the 1st gen. dakota crowd but since I bought a new truck a few weeks ago, I thought I'd show my new ride. It's a 99' Ram 1500 4x4 QC with a 5.9, 110,000 miles. What a huge upgrade from my '94 dak with the little 3.9l 6 popper! Here's what I had...



And here's my new ride...









It still needs a little cosmetic TLC. Mostly rust repair and paint on both front fenders, and then replace the bottoms of the doors. Also I need to replace the dash. There's a few huge cracks in it and I just noticed today that there's a chunk missing. Current mods are Viper remote start, tonneau cover, diamond plate bed caps, nerf bars, magnaflow high-flow cat, flowmaster 50 series muffler. Couldn't be happier with the performance of this truck, and the exhaust setup sounds amazing.

 

I love it, what size tires are those? Is the exhaust loud?

 

that was a big upgrade!!!... glad to see your happy with your 2nd gen

 

Welcome to the big boy club 1998 1500 5.9L also...I like the sports package...think I should of gotten the sport one I saw. Just mine had more custom already and was cheaper and bigger engine

 

nice truck bro, i bet your happy to have v8 now, get a exhaust these trucks so awesome , i got pulled over for speeding today!!! grrrr was i mad

 

Welcome! Reminds me of my 1995 Dakota, same color, but I had the 5.2L V8 in that.

And always remember, the forums here are wrong. Technically, thats a 2nd generation Dakota. The pre-magnum (pre-1992) Dakotas were the real 1st generation Dakotas. Nothing against you, just a little pet peeve of mine with the Dodge forums.

 

i also previously owned a 2nd gen dak(94), V8, thing was fast as hell, got rid of it because i wanted a bigger truck, I now have a 95' 2500 ram, big upgrade!

 

Nice ride...like those shoes.

 

Nice. Big step up from a Dak. I love Intense Blue sports'. I can tell it has leather, too. Me really likey!

 

Congrats....My ride before this was a 98 Toyota Tacoma std cad 2wd 4cyl, take about small....Enjoy your new ride...
