Hi guys and gals. I'm a noob. I just bought my first Ram 1500 couple weeks ago. Heres the info;

1994 Dodge Ram 1500
Standard Cab
5.9L 360 V8
174k
Automatic
2wd
Long Bed
Black






I bought it for $275 with the two of the spider gears ripped out of the diff and a bent pin shaft. I am currently trying to locate a new diff whether it be an open or LSD. It runs awesome and transmission has a B&M shift kit in it. Hopin the trans holds out as I have read the horror stories. You all are more than welcome to share any problems that I should investigate to prevent any future problems.

Glad to be here,
James

 

Welcome to DodgeForum James. Sounds like pretty cool project in the works. Check out the 2nd Gen Ram Section, https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen-ram-64/ , for similiar trucks, problems and projects Hope you keep enjoying it here

 

Thanks, hoping you fellow enthusiasts can help me in the years to come.

 

now don't go thinking this place is only for help. we like seeing what you're using your truck for.

Welcome to DF!

 

Oh for sure guys. I plan on lifting it 3"s and adding some bigger tires meven though its a 2wd. I'm going to be tinting the rear sliding window, adding a toneau cover, some tail light covers. True duel exhaust with LT headers with 3.5" tips coming out at an angle so the exit right under the rear corners of the truck. I've got tons of ideas, just gotta save up some funds. Being a cancer patient(alittle over a year now) doesn't allow me alot of funds. Family and priorities come first.

 

now that's what i'm talkin about, make that truck your own.

sorry to hear about the health problems. i hope you can still enjoy your truck the way many of us have, by modding and running the hell out of it!

 

I will, I've been in remission for almost a year now. I am able to still do things, but have to be alittle more careful about not getting cut and infection. This truck will be about making it my own. Maybe even a few things on there to represent me having this disease.

LIVE STRONG!!!

 

Welcome to the 2wd lifted club. Only a couple of us here.

 

Yea, not very many people lift 2wds. I like the look whether it has any functionality or not.
