Starting at University of Toledo for an Electrical Engineering Degree. Hoping it's the right degree, but I realize I'll probably need to relocate when I'm through.
BTW, just sent an invite on LinkedIn also.
Thanks for the welcome!

Thinking of returning to a Dodge Truck
Yes, I am new to the board, hopefully so I can find my next truck. Last Dodge that I had was a 1996 1500 with a 5.9L (gas) and it did well until I had to replace the entire front suspension @ 175,000 miles. I had an opportunity to trade it in on a Chev Tracker, which I towed behind my motorhome. For my next truck, I picked up a Chev Dually, to haul a 4000# Truck camper around.
So I am now ready to downsize back to a 2500, with a diesel, a 5 speed automatic trans, I don't need a crew cab, but an extended cab would be nice.
So this is why I have come over to this site. I need more information about which years still had the extended cab and which 5.9L diesels were the best prior to ULSD fuel.
I hope to have a good learning experience here. Looks like this is a good site.

Howdy partners!! I just bought a 2006 Ram 1500 yesterday and I make it a priority to find the best forum sight for my babies in the garage so DF is the lucky winner! HAHA. This is my first Dodge truck and I love it so far. I am from Central Illinois and am a cop. I look forward to contributing to this forum and learning from my fellow Dodge owners.

Hello all. I'm new on here, and I beleive this is my first post. I sold my 03 Hemi, 2wd Laramie thunder road about a month ago. I got a 06 Hemi 2wd about 2 weeks ago. I'm wanting to put a dual exhaust system and possibly a cold air intake on it. What do you guys and ladies think. Magnaflow or Flowmaster and what intake do you all suggest if any. Any other suggestions would be appreciated also. I never did anything to my other Ram so this will be my first mod. Thanks Matt

newbie
whats going on guys and gals. Iam 23 married in the Army waiting to come home from my long tour to see the wife and get started on my pickup. I have a 82 D-series stepside. I have a buddy that has a J10 Jeep with a AMC 360 in it. I want to take that 360 rebuild it and put it in my dodge. I want to know if any one has information on this truck and books i could buy so i can learn before i start digging in. Iam new to the rebuild seen and i think this would be a good start for me. Please reply i would like to know where i can get started. Thank You Kujo
