I'm just blowing smoke

With the Silverado gone I decided it was time to get something a big & diesel with a cheaper payment so I bought this off a friend. It’s a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 24v Cummins. SLT, Ext cab, short bed, 4wd. It’s a 2 owner truck with only 149k on it. When Jordan bought it, it had the typical dodge rot so he replaced the bed, rear door with rust & repainted the whole truck the factory forest green. The truck’s basically stock aside from the 3 inch lift & the 4 inch mbrp turboback exhaust. It does have some other little things like heated tow mirrors, new stereo, HIDs & LED tail lights. I’m pretty happy with the truck but have some things I still have to do & have some plans on some mods I’d like to do.

Things left to do:
-Fix the crack in the dash
-Alignment
-Replace whining blower motor (Already have the part just need time)

Plans for the truck:
-Lower the truck a tad (probably back to stock height)
-3rd gen rims with some good tires (tires on it now suck)
-Some lighting mods
-Smarty tuner
-New OEM chrome front & rear bumpers
-Trailer braking system
-Side steps
-Install the pillar gauges Jordan gave me

Some pics of the truck in it’s current state:

Keep it lifted. Fat chicks cant jump

+2. And 4 inch exhaust is plenty.

Truck will not have a stack on it. I’m happt with the exhaust that’s on it.

leave the lift, take out the gearhead joints, and some better wheels and this would look real nice.

FUCK those gearheadz.

has the lift pump ever been changed? If not you might want to consider doing a running pressure test to see if that pump is on it’s way out. Your right around the milage they normally fail and take the injection pump with them. It’s a very expensive repair if that happens.

Leave the Jointz, they’re my namesake!

That’s on the list of things to do.

Truck looks great for age, is that a auto or Stick Truck?

Truck’s an auto sadly. I wish it was a standard.

NV4500 conversion isn’t that hard to do and the parts didn’t use to be that expensive if you really want to do it.

Couple upgrades to the trans & you won’t have to worry.

with 149k on the truck Id say the tranny has been rebuilt atleast once considering its a Dodge

It was serviced at 100k, new torque converter & some other stuff I can’t remember off the top of my head. Have all the paperwork though.
