New Truck :) 99 Dodge Ram 2500

[Dentafrice]

Bought it this morning. It's a 99' Dodge RAM 2500 Cummins 24-Valve Diesel.

I think it's a nice lookin truck. Nice lift kit, pretty nice wheels and tires.

Not sure what chip it's got. It's got a programmer, as well as a 5" exhaust tip.

I'm lookin at putting stacks on it, black smoke looks better with stacks anyway:




Anyways, here it is-----

That's sexy.

Get the same arches from the first pic and it would make it look a lot nicer

I do like ram's but they just don't fit in with the cars in the UK.

May I ask how much you got it for?

[BeanEgg]

Awesome stuff! Lucky it's not petrol, as it would be one fuel eater.

What is it's purpose?

It's interesting how the insides of pretty much all trucks have the same style dashboard as old 1990 cars so like an M reg Ford Fiesta. The rectangular air vents and block-dashboard style. It's strange how companies haven't modernised them, even when the "hard-working" style of a truck won't be an issue.

Anyway, it looks OK. Can't really pass judgement really, in the UK those sorts of trucks would either come as part of a kit or imported over by people who like the american style.

What the hell is an arch? You mean stacks? The exhaust stacks coming out of the trucks bed?

To drive?

Yeah a lot of the cars have recently, in the 2004 generation of truck changes (which a lot of the trucks either changed in 2002, 2004, 2006, or 2008 (every 2 years).

They went from being square blocked dashboards, to rounded or flat:

Wheel arches

Tbh it needs to be lowered a bit, it's way too high.

The whole point of a lift kit, is lifting it. This is going to be an off-road truck most of the time anyway.

That's the reasoning behind the mud tires, and the lift kid.. so no.. it's not "way too high".

Wheel arches

Ah, I like them, but they'd be quite expensive.
