Hey everyone, last wendesday, I bought my first Dodge truck. 2000 Dodge Ram 1500, reg cab, short bed (see sig)

Bought it off a guy who got it from an elderly man from Texas, so it has no rust anywhere on the frame or body. Has a brand new tranny in it,brand new tires, new exhuast (i want to put headers on it) and it needs a few odds and ends. I'm going to get pictures on as soon as I go out and get a digital camera.

Probably start looking into some mods (cowl hood, headers, back rack, toolbox some other crap.) Glad to finally have a dodge.

 

welcome to the 'family'.. btw.. my g/f just informed me that im now addicted , seems i spend more time on here than i do with her , she says i like my truck too much or something. DAMN them women

 

Just think If your truck was anatomically correct, you would just keep the GF around for the occasional nagging.............................

 

Haha, hey bamory, you member of a FD? Cheif or something? Around here only cheifs and asst. chiefs can have sirens..

But yea, the girlfriend likes the truck but hates that I buy mods and stuff for it. Oh well.

 

No not chief, Ohio allows us to use lights and sirens(except blue)and also lets our vehicles become certified emergency vehicles. I am also First Responder for EMS, which usually means I go direct with ALS to the scene, and I am a nurse by trade, we should be getting a rather large substation straight across the road from me where an old school used to be, so hopefully I don't have to run my truck so hard anymore. Right now I have a pumper about 1 minute out my door, and when the new building is built we should have a grass truck moved over here, will make responding much easier.

 

Oh cool. New york Vol. FFs can't have red or clear lights. EMS can have green lights around here.

I have 3 fire stations and 1 EMT station around here. Small town but spaced out. We have a ladder truck, 2 tankers, 2 pumpers and some fast resuce trucks.

Having the dodge really helped me get to the calls quicker than my other truck had, so I'm very happy with it and 100% more likely to buy another dodge.

 

Spent some time around Ellicotville a few winters ago, beautiful in the winter, around the Holiday Valley ski resort

 

Welcome, my truck is a 2000 reg cab. Really like it had it a little over a year. Guys on here will be glad to help with mods. BTW how much you got to spend . Just joking I had been away from moding/roding for a whiletheira big help. Got to addFlomaster to my post.

 

Congrats and welcome. I'm just like you...in my first Dodge about 2 months ago now. I've loved it so far and this forum is great.

 

I'm thinking about adding Dynomax headers (to match my exhuast) along with maybe an intake and a cowl hood.
