Well I picked up a newer truck about 2 weeks ago.
05 Ram 2500, ctd, 6sp, 115K on the clock, r-title.
Manual windows and locks, rubber mat/no carpet, A/C, sliding rear window, and CD. This is exactly how I like my work trucks to be optioned.
Bought it from a friend, and another friend of mine did the repair minus the frame work, so there are no secrets about the truck.
I paid $10K for it and stuck a plow and spreader on it. I chopped the muff off, the cat happened to fall off at the same time, removed the baffles in the intake tube, and removed the silencer ring inside the turbo inlet. More mods to come as soon as I get paid from the plowing.
I installed a Pusher intake horn on it today. I’m highly impressed with the difference it made. It is the best $120 spent yet on the truck. I highly recommend it to anyone with a CTD.
