Hey guys, new member and owner of a 96 Sport 4x4. I got this a couple months ago from a woman who lives across the street from me. It sat for years and I finally asked about it, long story short she was nice enough to give it to me. It's a regular cab short bed 4x4 with the 5.2 Magnum and Posi rear.
When I first started working on the truck it was parked for at least 3-4 years. I put some Heet in the fuel tank, primed the oil pump, and she fired right up with a battery charger hooked up. As I went to put it in gear and drive it across the street the brake pedal went to the floor...I've replaced all of the fuel lines and brake lines with stainless along with new rotors/pads and shoes/drums.
Other than that I've just given it a good cleaning and have been enjoying it. I've never owned a truck and am absolutely in love with this Ram. It still needs a few things, but I'll get to them in time. It has 126k miles and everything looks to be original, definitely needs shocks and the front end done.
Just wanted to share some photos, this looks to be a great forum for 2nd gen info, I've already found soem very helpful threads as I've been working on the truck.
