So I just brought home my new (to me) Ram that I got to replace the one that I wrecked (details here https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...py-ending.html). It is a 2003 1500 HEMI 4x4 quad cab, short bed all back Sport. The truck came with a K&N cold air intake on it, Westin wheel to wheel step bars, and a matching black toolbox. I also have things like the expanded storage console and power seats now. The wheels aren't stock, they are solid black steelies with almost brand new Cooper Discovery HTs on them as well. It also has the factory Infiniti sound system as well, along with 3.92 gears in the rear with the factory LSD. The truck has 103,000 miles on it and I got for 10,500, which may seems high but is actually a pretty good deal around here, going by the other asking prices I have seen. The seller also just changed the plugs and did an oil change bout 300 miles ago.

As for things I plan to do to it, there are a couple. first, going to swap the current wheels/tires out with my old ones, which are stock Dodge 17 inch wheels with my almost new BFG A/Ts on them. Next will be putting my window flares back on, then removing the toolbox (but saving it for future use) and putting bed rail covers along with my Truxedo Lo-Pro QT cover on. Then, I plan on going to Best Buy and getting my new headunit installed, gonna go with this one here http://www.bestbuy.com/site/JVC+-+50...&skuId=9252426 . Once all that is done, all I really have leftover is a remote start/alarm combo down the road, and I think I will black it out more by putting different headlights in the front, the ones that are basically stock but painted black inside, and probably using Niteshades and clearcoat on the tails.

Of course, nothing is ever perfect, and the truck has one minor issue, that I knew about going in and was made well aware of. When driving, you goto brake at say a redlight, and as the brakes are engaging, when the speedo hit exactly 13-15 MPH, the ABS pulses like crazy and makes what I can only describe as a sort of, well, "farting noise", along with feeling a pulse in the pedal. Now I have checked and the brake fluid, pads, and rotors all seem fine. This only ever happens while braking and at exactly 13-15 MPH, as shown by the speedo. Normal driving and such never causes it. My guess is that the ABS sensor in one of the front hubs is going bad, and causing it flip out like above. That's just my guess. What I'd like to know is what all of you guys think it is. Hopefully, not the hub, becuase it's like 200 bucks a piece and a pain in the *** to do myself, but if so, I can and will swap it out.

I know this thread is worthless without pics, but it is damn cold out right now, lol. I will take some later today and get them up by the end of the night. Also gotta update my profile and such too, I guess.

 

Well congrats on the new truck!

Few more in the album.

Went out today and got my new radio and put it in, works perfectly and I couldn't be more pleased with it. Those are my old tires+wheels in the bed, waiting to be swapped out. I also forgot to mention above, it has an Aeroturbine 3030 muffler on it. Not quite as aggressive as my Cherry Bomb Extreme, but close. I like it a lot and am keeping it on, would recommend them to anyone.

Also, does anyone have any ideas about my ABS issue at the end of my first post? The truck also has an aftermarket brake controller for a trailer on it, could that be causing the issue?
