I'm going to start a build thread. Probably be a very long time before anything major is completed, but this way as I work on the truck. I will have a thread to ask my questions and such.
I bought a 95 ram 1500 with the 360 and 130k miles.
Body and interior is pretty rough. (Not worrying about that as of right now.) but I had receipts for ball joints, wheel bearing, tranny cooler lines, alignment, and some audio work done before I bought it.
It also has a 3 in body lift. I have many ideas of want I want to have done to this truck but not sure where to start...
So far we replaced brake pads, brake line on front passenger side, and did a oil change (oil was pretty low and truck pulled hard to one side hence the brake work done.)
The exhaust currently is manifolds down to the cat and then what looks to be a glasspack and nothing after that. Good rumble at idle but stinks and sounds kinda crappy driving. 4x4 seems to work fine. Also still has very sloppy steering and seems to bounce a little when stopping . Thinking front shocks or rotors but they looked fine..
All in all if anyone has any advice on what they would do or suggestions on anything feel free to chime in. I'm excited to be a part of the 2nd gen crew and see how I can continue to build my truck!
Yes I know to check about the plenum gasket issue first. Haha.
