My new goat truck is finally here!

[Pipeliner_86]

Well at least it's new to me. 1998 Ram3500 ext.cab,auto 4x4, dually. Only 137,*** on the clock. One owner before me. Original purchase papers from the dealership still in the glove box.

Runs great....though I have only had the truck for 24hrs now, I already ground the fuel plate to a #100 style plate, and adjusted the star wheel a little. She moves her fat ass along pretty quickly now!

Heres a link to a couple of pics. I'll take more once I start customizing the truck to my needs.

Nice rig. If I had to buy another newer truck I would be hard pressed not to pick a Cummins over the Powerstroke as I do love the Cummins. I like the cheap parts, dependability and multi-fuel options of the IDI, so I'm staying down here in the basement, but you've got one foot in and one foot out, so I'm at least a little jealous .

Geez, already upgrading it ....hope you get some gauges soon though .

Guages will be coming soon. I dont beat my vehicals', and you dont get the effects of a fuel plate upgrade unless you put the pedal to the floor. As much as I love the seat of the pants feel from the cummins, it's damn expensive to replace transmissions. So I'll go easy on her for now.
