hello from the Granite State
Hello all. I'm not only new to the world of Dodge, but this is also my first full size truck. All of my previous vehicles have been lowered, including yota's and an chevy's. Anyways, I found a '98 crew cab 4 x 4 Ram on craigslist. Needs some work, rusty doors and rocker panels, 200k total miles, gutted cat which is causing the rear o2 sensor code, and a few misc. other things. It was a contractor's truck.
Over the next year, I'll get the body straightened out, new paint, new chrome, rims and needs a new hood. I'll prolly keep it at it's current height, previous owner put over size tires on it. After the exterior fixed, I'll move on to the engine and drive train. Engine rebuild, it's the 5.2 318 in it, tranny and differential rebuilds. It's be fun.
My kids love it, especially my son, who is 4. I let him ride with me when I picked it up today. He likes the "monster truck we rode in."
