So my brother last week went to test drive a few rams at a dodge dealer up the road from me after I drove him to get his car from service. Well.. i tagged along and one of the trucks he test drove I fell in love with in the passenger seat.

And so one thing led to another and I just sort of ended up with it haha

 

The exterior is okay, solid black with lots of chrome. But the interior is what really sold me.

Fancy longhorn interior was gorgeous!

Loaded to the gills with options, rear window defrost, power slider, rear heated seats, heated/ vented front seats, heated steering wheel, air ride. The list goes on. Oh! And it's a diesel! 3.0 turbo diesel. The price point was good too considering the market so I'm happy to have scooped it.

And I found the original window sticker in the glove box!!! :banana:

I just wanted to show off the new ride. :D

I hope the VB1 recall for the EGR cooler has been done. Actually I don’t remember what years the VB1 was for. I just remember the EGR coolers for the 3.0L being an issue. 

Before I bought it I had the salesman run the vin and supposedly it's a clean history for accidents and recalls. I wanted to make sure if there were any recalls that were done or needed to be done before I bought it.

But I also have a powertrain warranty that covers engine, drivetrain, gaskets and seals and even the turbo in case anything goes wrong. I'm not taking any gambles here.

A couple guys on an other board I’m on have replaced their rear air ride and possibly the front with conventional springs because the air ride was freezing up in the wintertime.

I don't mess with the air ride much anyway so even if it freezes up it will be on the mid level setting. Not a concern for me. But good to know, will have to be mindful of that. Thank you

Very nice truck! 

The one thing that I think you may come to dislike about the truck is going to be the bed. I feel that you might dislike how short the bed is and you may prefer using the MJ for hauling stuff in the bed. We have a friend who bought one of these when they were knew in 2014 (I think) and I haven't heard any complaints from him.

The bed is actually plenty of space for me. My dad has owned one since new from 2009 and it's been plenty useful to him.

Unfortunately the mj is off the road and I didn't have any other trucks to use. I went stir crazy not having a truck so I'm thinning the fleet and bought this haha

Nice looking ride. Personally I'm a Mopar guy myself. I love my 2012 Ram Hemi. Hope to drive it a few more years then get me a new 2500 cummins when I retire. Hope yours is as good as mine has been. 110k mikes and zero issues. And I've pulled a 7500lbs camper all over the eastern US with it. Good tough trucks.

My dad has a 17 Ram 1500 for a company truck. 5.7 Hemi and 206,000 miles on it, runs and drives like new. 

These rams are super tough and durable. My dad's is an 09 about to hit 300k miles

Which is part of the reason I wanted to get one myself.
