Just Switched From Ford

[JLindsay32]

Just wanted to introduce myself, the names Josh. I am from Humble, TX but am a senior at The University of Colorado in Boulder, CO. I just picked up a used 2012 Ram 1500 SLT after driving my 04 Ford F150 FX4 for 5 years. I did a ton of work to it and was sad to see it go, but at 10 years old, and with 112,000 miles I decided to find something newer with less mileage. I was a member of a couple forums related to that and figured there was no better way to start the new process with my new addition than to find a forum to help me along the journey of building this one up! I will have a build thread up in the 4th Gen Section, I look forward to learning and hopefully helping others in my time here at RamForum!

Go Buffs!

Welcome man. I switched from a GMC and haven't been disappointed a bit. You made a good choice.

Your story sounds similar to mine as a former Ford owner. And I agree that joining a good online forum is definitely one of the best ways to learn about a vehicle.

Anyway, I'm so new here that it seems kinda funny saying it, but Welcome!

So, to be clear, you got rid of the truck because you thought it had high miles at 112,000? True?

Welcome aboard! Hope she treats you well for years to come.

Just saw this, but not quite. I wouldn't say it had "high" miles, but it had been rode hard. At 10 years old and after doing lots of mudding, towing boats, etc.. It needed about $4,000 of work including but not limited to, new brake assembly in the front, upper and lower control arms in the front, tie rods, new ball joints all around, etc... Therefore I made the decision to trade it in vs. putting the money in to it all at once, + the inevitable costs that were coming!

I look forward to building this one and have enjoyed it so far!
