Quite the opposite im afraid....

 

Keep in mind he has 33's, there is a distinct possibility that he will end up with better economy than if he had those 33's, and the 3.55 gears..... all depends on driving conditions.

 

dang well thats a bummer if that is the case. i topped of the tank yesterday which is about 23-24 gallons! almost had a heart attack at the pump. i suppose ill find out what my actual mpg is with in the next couple of weeks or so.

whats all the features of the offroad package?

 

Sits two inches higher than regular 1500s.
4.10 gears from the factory.
LSD rear diff.
17" Off Road specific wheels.
Various stickers.
Think it came stock with larger tires too, but, can't swear to that.

 

Drive it like you stole it for them mpgs!! hahah

Our ORE's get all poo pooed around here

What HeyYou said, but I'd say more like 1.5" not 2" over stock. Front diff housing has some itty bitty extra flanging to take some hits. We all came with the cool factory front tow hooks.

Great truck...but yours is WAY too clean.

 

ah so im thinking i lucked out pretty good. i love the fricking truck! in the process of rubber undercoating the whole truck, but ended up running out of daylight tonight.

and yes whitenukle i think she'll stay a pavement queen after my last encounter i had with the dakota which was not fun!

i do have some rust i need to take care of too. so it'll definitely keep me busy and empty the wallet pretty good!

things i need to do within the next year is
-new spark plugs
-new spark plug cables
-rotor and cap
-plenum
-brake lines coming out of master cylinder
-figure out my steering
-humming in front end really hear it when going through a tunnel, thinking its hub/bearing? are these all one piece or?
-fix the rust spots that are bubbling up and existing spots like under inside of doors

 

plenum 1st!!

 

Nice truck from the pics. You got quite the deal, especially since it's an OFF-ROAD with the 4.10s. Besides those listed, the off-roads also came with upgraded shocks (which are probably worn out by now anyway)

I recommend sticking with standard copper core spark plugs. Also, check the brake line that runs next to the gas tank for any signs of rust. They are known to blow if the truck sees snow.

yup jt, it did end up blowing out in the middle of the winter the previous owner said. i looked under the driver frame rail and it was brand new

 

The Off Road Edition Ram's are kinda the cream of the crop as far as 1500's go, they seem to not be as readily available as regular 4x4 Rams.

Fix the issues at hand, take care of her, and she should last for a good while.
