Completely new to Ram and Cummins diesel

[Mario]

Hi there all, My name is Mario we just bought back my best friend 'Randy's truck who sadly isnt among us anymore,
Me and me missus Mai were looking for something bigger and stronger as we like to go out half mile racing with our race car but our 4x4 isnt that strong when pulling 2 tons uphill, most races are far awy from where we live so most important is safe and comfort when were going out fully packed. All of a sudden this white big American heavy duty ram truck comes by so we went to check it out.
And i Knew back then that this 2004 hd Ram was the only 3500 Ram in The Netherlands back then. We contacted Randys missus Patricia she confirmed it was his truck and told her it will be back and safe within our circle.
So glad the truck isnt molested and had been taken good care of from what we could see.
10 more days and then well collect this big truck.
Truck was imported from LA back in 2007 via Germany and then into the Netherlands.

There were a couple of things done to the truck as for instance intake and exhaust tip and somebody sticked a sticker under the bonnet from a chip company.

Hope to learn more about the truck and its powertrain.

That right there is a bad ass truck, if I were you I’d get on a cummins specific forum for the 3rd gen rams, probably get more helpful information there. Just my 2 cents.

Thank you, really glad truck isnt molested, Hope i can find most info on the truck here with you guys, but nothing wrong with checking out on a cummins specific board any recommendations?

Many of the guys here have experience with the 5.9 though, myself included. What’s the sticker from the chip company say?

I was just suggesting it mainly because I think this is mostly 5th gen Ram stuff. You have a 3rd gen, so it is pre-emissions 5.9 liter engine, whereas the 5th gen is a 6.7 with a lot of emissions equipment. Many of the guys here have experience with the 5.9 though, myself included. What’s the sticker from the chip company say?

Thanks, we will pick up the truck may 22, we will take some more photos from the truck and the engine compartment, when we actually have it with us maybe you know whats done to the truck. (I cant remember but thought it was yellowish orange superchips) but let me take some photos when we are going to pick it up. Again thanks for the help.
