I am picking up my first ram, and my first truck. It is a 2005 dodge ram 2500 with the 5.9 cummins. I have always dreamed about owning a truck with a cummins and now it is a realty.(well almost still need to go get it).

A little about myself, My name is Ryan, my family and I moved to Colorado last summer. This will be my first truck. I am turning 17 in june, since the truck went over what I had saved to buy one with my Dad has offered to chip in the rest of the money, so probably not going to be able to add to many aftermarket parts for a little while. The main reason I got a truck was to throw my atv in the back when heading to the track or the dunes, and this fits the bill perfectly.

I do plan on rebuilding the tranny, and adding an edge programmer as the first thing. Would it be worth getting the programer without having a rebuilt trans? or will the extra performance tear it up?


and what is a thread without pictures?

oh the truck will get some use when the family goes riding, instead of using my dads tundra we will probably use this now. every now and then we will find steep grade that the tundra will have some issues with when the trailer is on.


I thought about painting the rockers black, and adding fender flares, but throwing some line-x on there would look amazing. and it would match the bumpers!

I'm liking this place already!:happy3:
