Default New guy intro

Hey guys new guy here. A little about me my name is Bill and I live in the great north west. I just finished up my associates degree in automotive technology and majored in chrysler products. I have been turning wrenchs proffesionally now for about three years. Prior to that was a wealth of knowledge handed down to me by my dad who has been in the bussines for over 25 years the last 17 being at what was Timberline dodge. As far as my ride I have a 95 dodge ram 2500 with the 5.9L gas. The plus side is I have the great NV4500 trans. The trucks lifted 4 inches and has some BFG all terrians on er. As far as mods it has a K and N cold air intake, aftermarket throttle body, and full three inch exhaust. I hope I can learn from yals on here and share any helpful knowledge I may have. See ya around.

Welcome.

Just an FYI there was no stick for the 5.9l only the 5.2.

I don't think the 1500's came with a 360, and a stick, but, according to popular theory, the 2500's, and 3500's were available with the NV4500?

My 2500 5.9 has a NV4500 that looks factory but I can't be for sure since it was this way when I got the truck used. It does seem more rare. I looked around for a while to find this one among many auto tranny trucks for sale at the time.
