Afternoon all. After many years away from truck ownership I just purchased a 2005 Ram 2500 4WD Crew Cab Hemi 5.7 SLT. FYI, I don't know what a Hemi is. If owning a Hemi is not a "good" thing, I am not inclined to argue online. :) I am here to learn as I am very rusty on active participation in my vehicle maintenance / ownership. My first vehicle was a diesel car and I became a little handy with it, even using a repair manual with it. That was many years ago.

My truck looks almost new, well taken care of, and from a very painless dealership.

Looks like it is a truck without all the super bells and whistles offered at the time period it was sold new. I am fine with that. I am researching ways to best outfit the truck. The truck is more than I need at present but possibly all I need in future years. It will carry passengers, offers 4WD when needed, can carry and haul materials when I need.

Looking forward to learning what products and DIY I can do to use the best out of this nice truck!

Thanks all for the welcome.
Welcome to the forum! Let's see a pic of the new ride. You'll love being back in a truck. Here's a couple threads to read through that might help you to start your modding....

I tried to post pics, but they were from the dealership website. I photoshopped out all references to the logos, dealer name etc. but they still aren't accepted by the website. :-(
