Hey everyone! Happy New Years, hope you all get out and make some memories in your Rams this year.
I'm excited to be apart of this community to learn more and grow. I have a decade of owning Rams and will continue to own them as I like to just stick with what I already know haha. Below are the previous Rams I have owned and lastly my current one that I might do a build write up here as I have documented just about every modification. All work is done by me as I'm a diesel mechanic and I just need to keep my hands busy haha.
My very first Ram and truck honestly. Purchased this early 1997 2500 12v Cummins with a NV4500 back in 2013.
The only modifications this truck saw was pump work and a dual disc clutch. It mainly hauled race cars from Maine to New Jersey and never left me stranded. Some day I'd like to own another 12v.
Sold the 12v to purchase this early 07 3500 5.9 with a G56 in 2014.
This truck gave me a lot of memories. It took my family from Maine to Key West, FL and out to California (with a trailer equipped). A little bit more of modifications was done to this truck, It was bought knowingly the injectors were bad. That was the first install, DDP 50hp injectors with 6.7 supply tubes and a GDP Primary CAT fuel filter to keep the new injectors clean. After that I installed a south bend dual disc clutch with HD hydraulics because the factory clutch decided to make noises it shouldn't haha. Beyond that it was just maintenance like changing all the fluids, Bilstein shocks, new tires and gauges. Did not put a tuner in the truck even with the 50hp over injectors, I would have to slowly lean off the throttle on certain grades so the EGTs would get passed 1300. Other than that, it has never left me stranded. One of my best friends purchased the truck and currently still owns it. He installed a tuner with tunes from a reputable tuner. Had nothing but great experiences from them but one day he decided to run a hot tune on a hauling trip from SC to ME and burnt up the rings in cylinder 6. New engine was installed and still chuggin along.
Current 2011 3500 6.7 with the 68RFE
Purchase in 2019 with 130k miles to now having 220k miles and only changing fluids and tires. But this truck has had the most modifications out of the other trucks. But still following the same practices of no tunes, improved fuel filtration delivery and strict maintenance guidelines.
Current configuration which I might do a build on here if people are interested. From Carli Suspension to custom parts you guys might own one day.
