I got a 5 speed manual 1998 that was handed down from my best friend and my firewood partner.. he took his life on the 16th of September, his father in law gifted it to me.. it was not supposed to be like this Dillon.. I love you so much
I want one so bad as my first car. Would you recommend it I would carry a lot of stuff in the bed and is it reliable? I think they look very good I would probaly be 5’ 11” would you think it would fit me?
You were close On the Movie twister its a 3/4 ton Ram 2500 not a 1500 i believe it was equipped with the 5.9 magnum but the cummins turbo would have been nicer
Sound deadening material is a godsend and can be applied easily. And fuel economy modifications do in fact exist for these. Just get rid of the God awful 47re transmission in the dadgum thing first. I myself plan to do an allison 1000 swap via CA conversions.
Model year 1998 was the refresh, Therefor, the second half of 97 were all produced as 98 model years. This is how all cars work, the model year does not start on January 1st with the calendar year
@@BigCountry45 got it lol pretty good for the money since I just use it on the weekend to move wood around and it did not cost me as much for a Cummins although that would be nice
I have one for sale in Bloomington, IN. Look on Marketplace FB. $3K needs a front axel. Frame is OK. Axle mounts are pot metal. 99’, Ram 3500 Dually, V10 (gas), 4x4, newly rebuilt Automatic Trans, ex cab with mini door, 8 foot bed, bed mat, guard rails, stepped camper lid with molded to truck countouring. (Hard to find) back window needs rebuilt to lock. Usable as is. This truck is a real good buy.
Throw away the factory hitch and get a Draw Tite. Inspect frame for rust at that time. Weak link is the front axel. $350-$1000 to replace. Doable but it’s work I’m not up for. Make sure if you change the front axel that you get the right gear ratio.
You must not be a diesel guy. Just so you know, you have to let the glow plugs warm up in any diesel. You can't just flip the key forward and start it right away.
If it hasn't already been fixed. The handle has two rods for the top and bottom latch. If you remove the handle and pull down (on the one for the top latch) and up (for the bottom latch
