Thank you, for your life of service, to Society, and Welcome to the forum.
Now, since you have a Classic Edition of our Venerable Machines, in essence,
your truck is a 4th Generation Ram. All information, regarding 4th Gen's,
should apply to your truck, as well.
There is an infinite amount of incredibly useful information, on this forum.
Most of it, readily accessible through the Search Feature. That tiny magnifying glass, top right,
of each page. If this fails, then start a new thread. As you start the new thread,
other previous threads, along the subject line of your thread, will populate.
Might want to chekck them out too.
if you do start a new thread, J ust liek with this one, give it a bit of time.
Guys will respond. Be Courteous. Shouldn't be a problem, for you!
now, for the bad News:
You will find a gazillion ways to spend money, on things you previously had no idea existed,
yet now realize, you absolutely MUST HAVE.
I know what you are thinking:
I'm Old, not some young guy, looking to trick out his Ride.
Hm huh, Keep telling yourself that.
So, let;s you get started. When you make a change to your truck, from OEM Factory,
that is called a 'Mod'-ification. Those afflicted with this Disease, are known as Mod-aholic's.
There is no known Cure.
I recall, and incident, with my previous truck, a 2014 4th gen.
Saw a post about a guy who bought an S&B intake. (Totally Cool, You need one)
I remembered I wanted an S&B intake, they look so cool!
Started looking at them, again.
Had one , in my cart, even.
Then, "Sanity" kicked in.
Yep. Sanity walked over, looked at my monitor and goes,
"Didn't you just spend $600 on that pick-up?"
"Thought, you said, you needed tires?"
OH My God, I have an Addiction.
I decided to start a list of all my "Must have Mods"
I do.I do have an Addiction.
Research Addictions and seems the first step is to acknowledgment.
Then Proclaiming it.
