Default New truck guy

Hi all, just traded my 97 Ram 1500 RC LB 4X4 in on a 2004 1500 4X4 RC SB. Dodge trucks are about the toughest trucks around and I have owned a bunch of trucks in my life.
With a Dodge truck, the crumple zone is the other vehicle!

My new Ram is a 4.7 4X4 with a 3 inch body lift and 35 inch Goodrich TA tires. Cat back duel exhaust and the SLT pakage. Black and silver paint. With the lift and the tires, it looks mean. It has loads more power than my 97 360 did, and in short, I am very happy with it!

Hans

Thanks for the welcome.
I'll get a pic up soon. Have to wash all the road salt off of it right now! Dang New England weather!

It looked so nice when I picked it up on Sat. then it snowed Sun. and she looks ugly right now. Covered with mud I can live with, but road salt just looks tacky

Welcome new person! Dodge trucks are tough, mine's an '89 and hauled me and my things from California to Illinois with no problems.

Welcome aboard! Not far at all..... might want to hold off on the wash job, I hear we have chance of snow again this weekend, with more mid week next week! My Ram looks like crap right now as well.
