Well, newbie to the site but not to the diesel world. 
In 2009, my addiction to diesel trucks began with a 1999 F350 7.3 dually with a 6 speed manual. Nicknamed it The Monster, and occasionally towed a 38ft two-car gooseneck behind it. When I separated from my husband, he kept the truck and I kept the car I'd bought the year before. He eventually sold it but I think I still see it from time to time.
In 2012 I was introduced to the Cummins world, and drove to Illinois to get my 2001 Ram 2500 4x4 with a 6 speed manual. It was built as a sled truck out there. P-pumped, injectors, scheid 2.6 cam, studded, fire-ringed, forged rods, meth injection, built transfer case, Southbend dual disc, FASS, 64/80 compound turbo setup, 5" turbo back exhaust, leveled on 35s, all sorts of goodies with a stack of receipts that came with it. Brought it back to SC and have dumped plenty of money into it over the years also, but will never sell it. Its name is Big Horny, since someone added a "Y" on the end of Big Horn - the name stuck!
Last week, I spent 4 days talking the dealership into selling me a used 2016 Ram 2500 4x4, 6 speed manual as well (notice a pattern?
). Already deleted, Raceme Ultra, studded, Carli springs & Fox shocks, bad-a stereo, Southbend dual disc, HIDs, LEDs inside and out (and even underneath), shorter throw shifter, train horns (compressor is in toolbox, with quick disconnect for an air hose in case of a flat, weee), different track bar, and very handy WeatherTech floormats, seeing as I work in a yard at a trucking company that turns to mud every time it rains. Picked it up on Saturday with 13,200 miles, and am absolutely in love with it.
Not a total idiot when it comes to all this stuff, but still have a lot to learn too, especially about the 6.7s
Look forward to checking out the board!
