I bought a big Dog....

[greyhair biker]

my new 'toy'. 06 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT CrewCab BigHorn edition. If I feed him a regular diet of hauling my trailers and bikes around it will be sure to be a happy dog :haha:

[greyhair biker]

JP I though you had your exhaust pipes like a semi. maybe that was someone elses doge you posted.

I look for any reason to borrow my dad's Ram. Now if I could convice the wife I need a truck just because it's a truck . . .

:rockon:

[JP]

Nope, that's mine in the pic. The one I posted with the dual stacks wasn't mine. I remember the truck, cannot remember why I posted that one. I'll be going to a single stack, very shortly :haha:

[blueeyes]

That is one HOT truck you got there! :naughty:

[CrazyFinn]

Mine is a Dodge as well. 3500 diesel. But where will we buy parts when they finally break down???? :ne_nau:

[JP]

3500 diesel.
I have the Cummins as well :2thumbs: :2thumbs: I'm not worried about parts at all. And if it's the engine, it's all Cummins which is still going strong :haha:

[abirken]

[JP]

I think you need to haul something like me in it. :haha:

[greyhair biker]

:haha: yes, my 'girl' is parked out in front of the house with her bottom lip pouting wondering what she did to deserve this treatment :haha: I didnt tell her she is for sale...and the 'old' old dog is also for sale. He is still running but it's time for him to go too.
...as for giving out rides in the new dog...well, ANYTHING is possible :naughty:

[blueeyes]

ANYTHING is possible :naughty:

In don't think I would own a dodge truck without a cummins there the best but if i had a dodge car it would have a hemi unless i could fit a cummins into it then i would hace an old charger with a cummins it would be fast.
actually im looking for a cummins 2500 engine or a diesel out of a 80's toyota to put in my truck.
:rockon:

[accadacca]

Don't you need to keep that Jeep to tool around in? Didn't you just put that lift on it a couple years ago and some odds and ends. :ne_nau:

:ne_nau:
The two engines aren't even on the same plane :haha: (Toy and Cummins)

2500? All the Dodge diesel pickups came with the Cummins 6BT either 12V, 24 valve or the 24 valve Common Rail. The 2500 (3/4 Ton) and the 3500 (1 Ton) There was an earlier diesel for them, not made by Cummins. I believe it was the Barreiros Diesel.

Cummins made a 4BT which is a 4 cylinder which has been a choice to put in things like Jap pickups, Jeeps, etc. The 6BT is one heavy engine.

I too just bought a new truck. Kept the Durango (saving it for my oldest), and bought a 2008 Ram 2500 6.7L i6 Turbo Diesel (Bluetec, BigHorn Edition).

The more it tows and the harder it works, the better the MPG/mileage.

Your going to be happy with it. If I was buying now I would get the 2500 instead of the 3500 I have. The mileage is better on the 2500 because of the gear ratio's. I have 73,000 miles on mine and am now getting about 18 MPG with no trailer. When new it was around 13-14 MPG but it is still improving. Diesel engine still breaking in?

2008 Ram 2500 6.7L i6 Turbo Diesel (Bluetec, BigHorn Edition).
Another Cummins owner :2thumbs: :mrgreen: The 6.7's have a lot of emissions going on with them and it's hard for those to make the mileage the 5.9's are doing. But, still a great engine and a lot of aftermarket stuff is being produced as I type for those bad boys :nod: Good luck with it :2thumbs:

And :haha:

I've read quite a bit about disconnecting the EGR, installing a "delete" resolving most emissions related issues (soot build up in the turbo, etc).

[BruteForce]

Just realized I "stepped" on your thread, GHB. Great looking truck. What were you driving before the Ram?

Any plans for mods?

I've picked up a subscription to Diesel Tech magazine (I think its a Utah publication) and it has lots of great performance tips.

Oh, and here are photos of my new BRTFRCE (new plate) dog:

Actually I still have my 'old' Dodge. 88 Ram 150LE shortbed. I put a 4" lift and 33" BFG's and an Edlebrock carb- thats it. The thing has over 200K on the odometer and still drives :ne_nau: It's for sale right now. :nod:

...I didnt get a diesel 'cause I really don't need to pull a huge trailer around. That, and mine is QUIET. :mrgreen:
