New Dude and finally here.

[USMCBLUE]

Hello everyone,

Well the time has finally come now that my 3500 Night Edition Mega Cab HO with the Limited Trim etc, its finally in the US after only ten months of waiting for this tow pig to come from RAM. Thought I would make my way over here and do an intro. Long time truck guy (Mostly always FORD's/Yota's) but this time around I wanted a Cummins so here we go. We run and use the 5500 in our fleet at work and I really like the way they tow heavy loads. Not much seems to stop them other than the occasional someone driving them off the Mt roads etc etc.

Can't wait to come up with some good ideas here and talk with others that use there truck on a daily to get good ideas and info. I already have a list of MODS to come as soon as I get it and parts that will be ordered ASAP (Fuel Tank swap/and a small tune for fuel milage). Who know what else after spending some time reading here.

If anyone has some great reading recommendations for first time RAM owner send it along. Knowledge is power.

Truck will be used to pull my 42ft 5th wheel toy hauler across the country for work and play, Camper is 20K GVW and I plan on running a slide style 5th wheel plate in the rear for this set up sp we are not smashing cab corners etc.

Nice.

Yeah the Ogden is off the coast of Pearl, they let the sub guys use her for target practice. Wish I could have seen that ****. Well you know what happened to the Bonnie Dick not long ago. Sad, it was a nice boat for sure man. It was a floating brothel but you know you will have that from time to time lol.

Here's one of my ships being sunk during RIMPAC off Hawaii. The old Decatur DDG 31/ Self Defense Test Ship. I worked on here as the SDTS and did my retirement on her fantail.
My other ship, USS Harry W. Hill (DD 986) was also sunk during that RIMPAC.
