Default New 3rd gen owner here

Hey guys, just traded in my 2nd gen 98' ram last weekend for a nice 04' Hemi QC Laramie 4x4 half ton. Wasnt really even looking, but ended up getting an offer thrown at me i couldnt pass up. I dont really know too many of you so i will start by saying a friendly helloand post some pictures of my new ride:

Also ordered quite a bit of chrome accessories for it, and picked up a new EGR valve since mine keeps throwing a code. Will replace it and maybe do a DIY write-up on it since (after searching) i see that quite a few people have had an issue with it. Anyways,glad to be aboard !!

Congrats, it looks good. The two-tone color on the seats is a nice touch. Are those OEM seats or are they seat covers? The chrome strip on the door panels also looks nice. Im gonna have to look for something like that on ebay.

and thanks for the reply on my thread.

Congrats!
I went from a 97 Ram to a 04 Ram four door myself.
Thats a great looking truck, having the Laramie package is a bonus too.

Any plans to lift it or trick it out?

RamItOne- My 98' had about 130k on it

D917- They are the factory seats, them and the satin silver trim are part of the laramie package.

HammerZ71-I think your right [8D]

5point7hemi- Probably no lift butjustordered a bunchof chrome for it

semigod- I live in Fargo, ND...nice to see another ND resident on the forum

94rt10ohio- Yeah i'll have to update as soon asi geta chance, but your right too busy waxing it up and just replaced the EGR valve, i have pics for a DIY if you think it would be beneficial, even though its not that hard to do

UP_Boilermaker- Thanks man

As the resident "DIY Section" moderator, I'd be happy with a DIY on plugging a 12v accessory into the cigarette lighter socket if someone would do it...[&:]
