Howdy everyone, new guy here that just bought a Ram Van. Normally I'm a Ford guy but the deal was too good to not buy it. Plus it was just really weird with the dual rear wheels.
Here's the stats:
2002 Ram Van 3500
Dual Rear Wheels (Conversion of course)
70K miles
I plan to use it for family trips and some light towing. I figure it should tow like a champ with the dual rears.
I look forward to learning from y'all.

Oven cleaner is fairly harsh. Easy Off may be more gentle, but I've seen oven cleaner do a number on rubber. If there is any glue from the stickers, use some WD-40 or diesel fuel to wipe it off. A good self cleaning wax, if they still make it, will take the weathered paint down slightly and erase the church markings. If the guy runs a detailing shop, he should know that trick.
As for the rear end conversion, it probably came from the factory that way. Conversion companies order basic vehicles in white. That makes a base for what ever the buyer wants. Although I am wondering if the rear end has the axle stub sticking out or not. It's hard to tell from the photo. There should be a large end tube sticking out in the center of the wheel that holds the axle on a full floating axle. It sort of looks like you have a semi-floating axle. Keep in mind that most 1 ton church vans use the more boxy body. Those don't use fender extensions.
