Newbie to diesels and db!
 

Just a young gun coming from oregon. Will be driving a 05 ram 3500, stock truck. It can from a old man that had it services every 7k miles or 6 months, whatever came first with the log book to prove it. It's a auto and was use to tow a 24' camper so im a little worried about the trans and will be getting a overhaul kit this spring, or summer.

On the list also for upgrades is cold air, tuner (either smarty or edge cts) and cat delete with a muffler. Needs bed lined and 5th wheel attachment brackets removed. Installing a manual sliding window since stock window was broken and it's not tinted like rear passenger so it looks quite odd.

I'm really excited about this rig, wheel liking be towing a off road rig up and down the west coast and a classic car so with the performance upgrades and towing a upgraded trans is a must. Rather spend a grand or two now than a replacement Transmision when it goes, and I won't be stranded (hopefully).

Current project is fixing this stupid sticky seats that are suppose to lift up easily, not need a screwdriver to push the mechanism down to raise or lower the seat.

Aweaome forum here, solved a couple problems already! Can't wait to learn more!

Sounds a nice find of a neat truck, congrats! Got some pics to share?

Glad to be here! Awesome site!

Oh I will share a few pics. Just waiting for a good sunny day to wash it. And it's been really rainy here (oregon). Been some flooding too. Can't wait to cut my teeth on this cummins.
