Hey All! Happy Birthday to me! I got this beast for my B-day today. I'm already a Mopar girl, had a '97 Ram 5.9L, and a 99 Ram V10 years ago. I also own a Challenger RT.
So - this new one is a 2008 Ram 3500 Mega DRW with 112k miles. It's a little beat up on the outside, but I got it at a good price so I can give it a little love in the next few months. Previous owner was a elderly man in downtown Miami... not a good idea!
A couple questions -
This truck has the DPF - do I need to do anything? I have read that it will take care of itself under the right conditions. It won't be my daily, except on rainy days. I live on a dirt road so the Challenger will get a break. I drive about 35 minutes each way, half on I-95, half on major roads. We own drag racing cars, so it will also be the tow vehicle for that.
The interior needs a some serious love. I may need to replace the drivers side seat. Any good sources for that kind of stuff? I also want to upgrade the radio and add a back up cam. Any one done that? What did you use?
Might need rear bumper, washer fluid pump, and I'm hearing the best way to maximize engine life is with upgraded fuel and air filters. True? Recommendations?
