Default I bought a Ram!

My first Dodge Ram! It's a green '96 Sport Magnum 5.9 ext. cab.

It's in excellent condition, with 14K miles!! I questioned the mileage, but the condition makes it believable. It's not easy to alter mileage, is it? From original owner who appears to have been "****" about maintenence. The ashtray appears to have never been used, and there's an "OK to ship" tag in it from Chrysler Mexico. Owners manual still in truck.

I got home about 11:00 last night, after moving my tools from my P.O.S van. Actually, my ford E-250 gave great service, and ran very well at 271K. The inline 6, 300 ci Ford was as quiet as new, and my mechanic said it had many miles to go. It looked like hell, though.

I really wanted a '98+ with opening rear doors, but I couldn't pass this one up! I think I'm going to be happy with it. I'm sure I'm going to be asking lots of questions here, I've learned a lot already by searching the posts. My truck definitely needs some performance upgrades![sm=gears.gif]

Well, I need to go "organize" my tools and stuff now. I'll try to post up some pics, soon.

wow if its good its a hell of a deal. look at the gauge cluster for chips or scratches on the glass to show its been taken apart. there made very soft so they cratch very easy. its not hard at all though to switch it out with a cluster from another truck.
