Hi All -

Just purchased my first non-Toyota vehicle, a 2000 Dodge 2500, V8 Magnum 5-speed.

I needed an 8-foot bed and I love the look of these second gen trucks, along with the simplicity.

Looking forward to making this truck road-trip worthy, using all the knowledge on this board.

I made the leap from Toyota to ram when they stopped making the 5.7's for their Tundras... My Tacoma was wheezing too much when hauling my tractor and pontoon boat...

Thanks All. Spent the whole day today working on her. Wash, wax, brake pads, new battery and air filter.

Next on the list are fixing the ABS light, rotors, drum shoes, all fluids, grease points and fixing the shattered dash.

Mileage is 164k. Not too bad for what I paid considering the condition of the paint and frame (both in excellent condition)
