Well, my wife and I did a thing yesterday... We bought our first RAM! I’ve never owned one, or anything Chrysler related. I’d been shopping around. And found the 4th gen ram to be the most roomy and comfortable trucks we’d been in. I’ve had all kinds of stuff, car and truck wise. We also currently have a ‘16 Passat 1.8 TSI and an ‘86 Mustang play toy that I used to autocross and drag race a bit.

Scrolling the FB Marketplace, I ran across this white beauty. We struck up a deal, and here we are! I’m attaching some pictures from the for sale ad, because those are all I have, LOL. The truck is currently in the shop getting a new engine, and a thorough look over.

The details:
- 2014 Ram 1500 BigHorn 4x4 CC
- EcoDiesel
- Bilstein leveling shocks on front
- Magnum step rails
- Frontier front bumper
- Ranch Hand rear.
- PPEI 40hp tune with turbo brake
- Edge CTS monitor
- Fully deleted
-H&S oil cooler
-Aem intercooler tubes
- S&B cold air intake

Plans are to swap out the Sportsman covers for some Fresh Katzkin leather, a good detail, and maybe finishing getting rid of all the chrome. Will possibly do wheels and tires down the road, and upgraded front control arms and a turbo back exhaust. Will clean up some wiring for the back bumper and the LED bed lights. Will either do a duo liner or have the rear bedliner resprayed.

Pics!

Thanks, y’all!

The engine appears to have spun a bearing, least that’s what the shop said. Should have a new engine next week, and I’ll be taking delivery about a week after that.

Well, truck has been home just over a week, and no major issues. I do need to replace a few bulbs, and will be filling up with diesel for the 2nd time today. Average per EVIC IS 20.5 so far. Includes siting in car rider line for 45 min idling, pulled a trailer and a bed full of stuff from my storage space, and lots of in-town running. Does that sound pretty reasonable to you guys?
