Default Just got me an 2006 dodge ram 1500

Its blue, has 46,000 miles, and i got it for $18,400. I am wondering are there any major issues with the 3rd generation trucks? And i also have an cb, and a scanner for when i go storm spotting and i am wondering is there any good way to mount them in the truck?

Not to be a dick, but there is a search button. If it doesn't work then thats fine. Just make sure to try and use it before you post. As for your question. Not to sure on the 3rd gens. Cb's mount pretty well on the bottom of the dash. Also there is a kit that mounts it to the floor. Btw welcome to the forum

Is it 4x4?
I bought my truck in January with 42,000 miles on it and paid $14,200.
