Hello from Arizona

Hey guys, I’m about to be a new owner, and wanted to say hi. So just a quick back story, back in ‘06, I bought a new 2500 Cummins. A little over a year ago, one of the valves decided to break apart and destroy a piston and cylinder. To me it wasn’t worth it to fix it, so I traded my broken truck in on a new Ram 1500 5.7. I figured since I don’t tow as much as I used to, stepping down to a 1500 seemed reasonable. I love the new interior and style, but never really loved the truck. Totally regretted not getting another 2500. After 49 weeks of the 1500 ownership, this happened. There’s well over $18k in damage. They’re not going to total it, but I don’t want it back. That led me here. At least this gave me a good reason to get rid of it and get back to a 2500. Sweet!! I’m just waiting on the dealer, but getting a ‘20 2500 6.4, white with the night package. So jazzed! I look forward to learning more and appreciate all the knowledge here. Thank you guys for sharing!

Your bad luck sucks. I think a new night will be great and hopefully change your luck.

I was thinking about that old adage re things happening in threes... Naw, superstitious hoo-ha - you'll be fine. Welcome to HDRams!

Thanks guys! A pisser about the whole thing is that the $4400 lift, tires & wheels were only 5 weeks old.

Well I finally found it. The sales mgr at the dealership told me there was a hold on the HD’s for a recall or something so it took a while. While I was waiting I also decided that a silver one would work too. But a white one popped up first. It is so nice to be back in a 2500! I don’t miss my 1500 at all. So jazzed about it!

Great looking truck, that black and white color combo really pops. Welcome to the forum. There’s lots of good guys on here to chat with. I see you have a heavy duty hitch, what are you towing ?

 

[Scottys20]

Thanks man, I appreciate that! 24’ trailer and Jeep. They both sit a lot more than get used anymore, but that’s what the hitch is for. I usually leave it in as added protection for the back end. Loaded trailer with Jeep and gear is around 8k lbs give or take.

That thing looks really nice. One of the best looking trucks on the road. Great choice.

Supper cool JEEP! Maybe a few details of the JEEP THX

 

[Scottys20]

Thanks man! It’s a ‘69 Jeepster Commando. It has the original Buick 225 v6. I swapped out the original t14 tranny & Dana 20 transfer case to a sm420/ twin stick d300 combo. Dana 44’s f&r, 4.56 gears and lockers f&r. I added power steering and a hydraulic clutch. The pic above has 35’s but now it has 37” tires. It’s my desert/rock toy.
