Default The twins

Brought home a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 CTD with my 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 CTD. At least it was a dodge pulling a dodge. The dealer ship wanted over a grand to do rear brakes for what I did for $200.


I think I need a set of airbags in the back

Pics are up now

The wheels and tires are on my truck now, I did a little swap today during work.

Know I want to know if the heated leather seat will work in my non heated cloth electric seat. I am trying to get a few things off the truck, since its a full load Lariame and mine is an SLT

What is wrong with the 2500? Besides the brakes you fixed. Just wondering since you are talking about swapping parts.

On a side note, heated leather is not all that, especially when you start smelling and feeling burnt

Truck is a thief recovery. Needs alot of work, but it is slowly being done. Had to get a new ignition tumbler and akey cut and programed from chrysler, at the cost of $700.

Truck runs well, it is currently on its first trip about 1000km through the mountains with a 18 foot car trailer with a bobcat and attachments on it. Hopefully it makes it (fingers crossed)

I'd say you did good. How did you get so lucky?

The wheels on the 2500 are Ultra Wheels, baja champ series 185. Tires on that truck are Toyo open country MTs LT295/70R17 load range E. The tires alone retail for $450 a piece.

Its too bad that two of the rims are cracked, on bad, other not so bad, so right now I am runnin the spare while I search for 2 more rims.
