Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. After decades of truck ownership, first GM then Ford for a long time I recently switched over to Dodge Ram with a 2006 2500. I used to have great luck with the F-series but in recent past years not so much, so it was time for a change.

Recently picked up this 2500 with a Hemi from a local small dealer that deals in HD trucks from out of state. He usually has a lot of diesel trucks and generally 2010 and newer but every once in awhile he'll get a older model, and even rarer to get a gasser. Carfax report I pulled says it's from WY and its very clean top and underneath. Lots of factory black and old barcode tags still around, which I like as someone who does most of his own wrenching/maintenance. Most Gen 3's have disappeared up here in the rust belt. I don't drive trucks anymore in the winter as it's main need is towing travel trailer and property/home projects in the summer so I hope this Dodge lasts me a long time.

I changed all the fluids last weekend and looks like it's about due for ball joints, but other than that it drives and runs great even with 169k on the clock!
