Actually when I open the pics in paint at the top under image I have the option to RESIZE when I open it up. I click it, the pic gets smaller I save it and WA-LA, it's done.

another option is www.irfanview.com their program allows you to see what the new size dimensions are before saving it. that way you can get an idea of the size as your working with it... it's free, check it out. it's what I use.

That's what kinda throws me off a bit in paint. It doesn't show you what size it's going to be, just a percentage. I usually save it at 20%, but maybe I'll try 50% since Drew said to save it at 50 high and 50 wide. Perhaps ifI save it at 50% I'd be fine.

I use paint shop pro for all my picture editing, I'll see if I can still rangle up a good HTTP URL if you want it.

Hello everyone! I'm not a new Dodge owner, but I'm a new Diesel owner. Here's pictures of my truck (and camper)...



We were at a music festival in a field...got muddy on the way out. The 2500 pulled right thru the mud no problem.

This truck was an upgrade from a 1500 with a 360 (that pulled the same camper, but sweated it a bit more than the 2500). Here's a picture of the old and new (yes, that is dust all over the 1500).


And finally...me...


This truck is "new to me" and I love it. It was a horse trailer hauler before I got it, and was barely broken in at 33k miles. I use it as a daily driver, tow vehicle to the family camper, haul musical instruments & a weekend work. My 1500 was killed by a moron who didn't know how to install an oil pump...but hey, that's a good thing, right? I unded up with this Awesome Oil Burner, and I'm lovin' it!!! Seriously, the truck is sweet! I actually stumbled upon it when the wife & I were looking for a Durango for her. I saw this "twin" to my old 1500, saw that it was a diesel and it was lust at first site. Thank goodness my lady can understand...she used to drive dump trucks...LOL!!!

I have had it for a few (20) thousand miles now and it needs a new exhaust system, which is the real reason I'm on here...but I'll post that in another thread. Thanks for the great forum you have here. I'm sure I will use it quite often!

Ok...the Specs:

2002 Dodge RAM 2500, Cummins Turbo with an intercooler. Everything is stock, and I'm out to trick it out now, starting with the exhaust!!! ;-)

Great to be here. I'm glad you like the truck...I love it! It's not a PIA in the winter (now that it's finally cold) like I thought it might be. It runs great, real strong. And now I'm ready to MOD it!!! Thanks again for the welcome...I'm off to check my exhaust recommendations!
