Default First time Ram owner!

Hey guys! I just discovered this forum and figured it would be a good idea for me to join since me and my family have always been Chevy people. Anyways I finally went out and bought a 99 Ram 2500 quad cab long box with 120,000 miles on it. It has the 5.9L, auto, and is straight piped. I must say I do love the pickup, but must admit after about a month of ownership I had to put a new tranny in it, sad but true. Anyways I just wanted to stop in and say hi.

Welcome to the forums!!! I'm new here my self and so far have found alot of information that would have helped a great in the past.

My 1999 Durango right now has a very hard put 197,000 miles on and it's still kicking. The biggest problem I ever had was the radiator got a hole and now the rear main seal is leaking.

I too use to be a chevy guy.I now have faith in Dodges after the my Durango.
