Hello from South Dakota!

[HAZZARDJOHN]

My name is John. I am an engineer from Minnesota who moved to South Dakota 5 years ago. In 2008 I bought a 38K mile 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 to replace my 200K mile explorer that I have had for ever. It was only meant to be a Daily driver slash car hauler. Well I started to really like it so I bought an another car for a daily driver. and it was relegated to weekends, hunting, trailering, etc. Now almost 4 years later it has 88K miles, and still looks like a brand new pickup. I put a new set of wheels and larger tires on it last year, I bought a superchips programmer, only for the speedo correction, but I do run the 91 octane tune. Other than that is is bone stock. I am getting a little bored and since I sold my Impala, and my Caddy is done, I am thinking about sticking some money into this pickup to reignite the passion again. So I am here for Ideas.

Onto the pics.

Welcome to the forum. Very clean truck. I really like the 3rd pic.

The third pic used to be my favorite, but since I got the new wheels and tires it just looks so little to me in that pic. Thanks for the welcome guys. I tried another Ram forum when I bought the pickup but I just never got hooked like I did with the other auto forums I am a part of. I would love to find one for my Dodge project.

Welcome to Ram Fourm. What sort of things are you thinking of doing to the truck. IE Lift or lower or go for performance.

BEast truck man! Welcome!

I need to re gear it as the 3:55's aren't cutting it in the windy hills of south Dakota since I went from 245/75r16's to the 285/75r16's. After that I want to lift it a little, not too much just like 3" then who knows from there.
