Finally got the upgrade

[wyoredneck]

New here and wanted to say Howdy. Finally got my upgrade. Drove my last Ram for 13 years. Put 267k miles on it and was still running strong. Decided to do a trade before it started to nickel and dime me.

Congrats on the new truck and welcome to HDRams!

I kinda still miss my 5.9L

I do miss the old one. It was an 07' with a 5.9 and a standard. Had to change the dual mass flywheel and only replaced one front axle joint. With 267k was starting to worry about things starting to go south. Hope the new truck lasts as long with the same good record.

Welcome to the club, nice choice in rigs.

Is that a ranch hand?

Is that a ranch hand?

That's what I was thinking to. It's a beast, bet it weighs a ton (figurative speaking). At least it's way out front so it shouldn't hurt rear axle weight at all.

Yes it is a Ranch Hand. They are pretty heavy, but not a heavy as the one I put on my old Ford. That one weigh about 400 lbs. I think that the Ranch Hands are only about 200 or 250 lbs. On these newer trucks the bumper doesn't leave as much of a shadow in the headlights as with older body style.

That's a beautiful rig! Welcome aboard.
