Well hello, not been on in a while or posted any piccies, i have doen a few bits to the truck but not too much as I'm currently trying to find somewhere to store it so i can get some much needed work done to it. Some photo's though :  The original washer jets were a bit, well erm.... Naff, so off to the scrapyard for some pug 405 jobbies  Relocated the rear numberplate as it was dangling off a dodgy bracket made by someone dodgy ;D  I then felt that there was something missing at the front  so i added some grill lights  Then came the exhaust ........ I wasn't happy with the noise, basically there wasn't any so i waited for this to happen :  It was rusty so i helped it along a little ;D  Still not happy i then made a hard decision and removed the rear silence completely and then cut the centre silencer open for some surgery   Welded it all back together (taking note this is my first welding attempt) and then engineered a side exit from all the pipes i had left over, i have since made the exhaust slightly larger.     Done a little bit of towing  And its now currently sat outside with a knackered fuel sender (rusty inlet and return pipes) and in dire need of some shock absorber bushes  For the bushes I'm hoping that a set of land rover discovery bushes are roughly the same. Thats all for now |

That looks nice as hell!
I've had three Dodge Rams, one the same model as yours but just an extended cab, my mate still owns it and it's got about 250,000 miles on it. Smokes like a diesel train when he gasses it, but he's added injectors and modified the pump. Goes like hell for a fat old bird.
The crewcabs are very rare, I don't think I've ever seen another. All of mine came with Cummins I6 turbo diesels and I wish I still had the 2000 model ... if I can find a 2002 model Ram 2500 at a non-stupid price I'll snap it up ...

They don't sell well down here in LA, people want them for nothing. ...and those plastic wheeltrims need to come off and a set of dog-dishes with trimrings need to go on, though I'm more used to seeing those roll about as you got it --Phil |
