First time Ram(2nd gen) owner from East Ohio

[ohio mossy oak]

Howdy!!!!I have been lurking around the forum for a few days..And I figured I might wanna introduce myself[..My name is Nick I am married an have 3 kids.A boy 6 a boy 2 an a girl that is 9 months.I picked up my first ram a few weeks ago via Craigslist..My options had been limited.Being I wanted to have the option to haul the whole family easy an the wife an I have to have 4wd for winter..I have no brand loyalty but wanted a 3rd door or quad door option an 4wd without a crap ton of miles..I cam across a 99 quad cab sport 4x4 with 129k on it..Its not in great nor poor shape..The guys was asking 2500$ an I drove it an it seemed like it needed a tune up..Offered 2100$ he took an I drove off..Did a tune up an its still has a issue or 2..After reading on here it may be the plenum gasket issue..Im gonna open the butterfly an check out in there ..An take some ether an do a vac line type test...All in all im happy with the truck an price..It has alot more room then i though it would.

Sorry for rambling..I aint good at sober introductions ....../I]
