Default looking at a new rig to blowup.......

Figure I will be honest.I have a bad track record.I tend to blow everything up I buy.So far I have blown up 2 M35A2s,and a Ford/IHC 7.3L IDI.Looking at a 2001 Ram 3500 Quad cab 4x4 dually with 6 speed.24V HO engine.Has 172K on the clock.Had some go fast goodies on it too.Got a box with a switch down at the shifter and a pad on the dash with up and down buttons.Didn't catch the brands.Sucker fires up FAST and runs out strong.No smoke on what ever setting it was on when I got in.Looks like the pump was replaced with an electric jobber around midship on the frame rail.

oh.To add.The manifold has been replaced with a 3 peice,has gauges(Pyro,Trans temp,and Fuel Pressure).Not sure what the boxes are.Forgot the names on them.Here is a picture of one on the dash.The other you can see at teh shifter but can't see teh single toggle switch with 3 settings.

The international was a given. You can blow the engine up w/o even starting it.

So I have been told.Travis Pruitt couldn't kill his 12Valve.The truck on the other hand couldn't handle his driving but the engine and transmission did.

well,deal went sour.While getting financing on the quoted price,the stealership jacked the price up 2 grand on me without even so much as a phone call.They said they had to replace the injection pump.Changed the price on their website to state was $17,994 now $14.994.Guess I won't be doing business with This dealership.If they lie about the price what else are they not telling the truth on?
