Hello, I'm Bill. I'm new to the forum. I wasn't bit by the Dodge bug until I got my '99 Viper. Now Mopar Rules! I have some older ram p/u's (80's and 90's). Nice to be part of this board. Thanks.

I may have some parts for you if you're interested. They came in a box with some other stuff that was in my '87 Ramcharger when I bought it.

There are some interior lights, one tail light assembly and a few other things. And I also have some voltage regulators lying around that I won't be needing. I'm not sure how to check their condition, but if you do and would like to try them, I can send a few your way.

We're getting ready to move and I need to clean up my garage.....BADLY!! I can figure up shipping cost to you for what there is and let you know. I don't want anything for the parts. Just cover the shipping though, if you'd be interested.

PS. For a new Regulator, you should be able to get one at any local parts store. I can't imagine why they wouldn't still have them available for sale anymore.
Also, it would probably be cost prohibitive to ship to you, but I also have a stock 4 bbl. intake from a small block. It was set up for a Thermoquad (or other spread bore carb.) I can weigh it and check shipping price for that as well, but I'd like to get a little $$ for that. Which, with shipping, is why it may be less expensive and easier for you to find one of those locally, or, unless you plan on an aluminum intake of some sort.

Welcome to the boards! You're right around the corner from me. I live a few miles east of Oregon, Ohio.

Default Old Mopar Man

Hello everyone, my name is Jerry and I'm an old Mopar fanatic with a three month old 2009 SWB 1500 Ram. (first new truck in 10 yrs, and first Dodge since 1980) I'm just a low income contractor who spent everything I had to get this truck so there is no luxury to it. I couldn't afford any upgrades, but do have all the muscle, hemi, 392, oil coolers, tranny coolers, towing, etc. This was the only SWB hemi truck available here, but I liked it and jumped on it. It is blue and came with gray bumpers and single exhaust. I recently had chrome bumpers (dual rears) installed, and I am waiting on AFE's new Mach Force exhaust to arrive (back order). I can't seem to find anyone who makes the high flow catalyst converters yet, but will change them when they become available. I'm also searching for someone nearby who can reflash my ECM, or for a hand held Diablo to come out. I do not want to send mine off, and I don't think there is a hand held available for the 2009 ram yet. I'm so happy with everything about this truck, mileage, looks, ride, and most of all, the performance. I'll take some pics after my duals are installed and hopefully try to post them if I can figure out how. You all have some awesome rides in here, and I love the pics, and tks for posting them. l love Mopar, and now my first ever "true" love with a truck

Default First Ram

Hi all,
This is my first Dodge. I have driven many before when shopping for trucks and was never impressed. I have always been a "Ford Guy" but when I drove the '09 Ram I was converted when I put the hammer down. This thing has some serious power! Anyway, I am now a "Dodge Guy".
