newer truck

Finally made up our mind ,bought 06 3500 ram 4x2 cummins,79000 miles bought in florida,texas truck runs like a bear,can't wait to hook up 5th wheel when we get back to michigan. soon as I can figure out to post pictures will put some on here. 3rd dually, all of them silver
  • Nice rig. My buddy has an 06 he bought new and it's been a great rig.
    The only minor thing to watch for is coolant loss. Unless it has had the kit put on it, there is a heater hose on the pass. side that can drip - esp. when cold.
    The kit includes a new silicone hose and special clamps.
  • Congrats and enjoy the new to you truck.

    I recently stepped up to a 2012 F250 6.2L from a 2007 Silverado 1500 4.6L. I knew there was no way I was going to be able to tow the 8,800 lbs trailer my wife wanted with the Silverado but didn't what to take out another mortgage to buy a new truck. The F250 is a regular cab, rides like a truck and has NO creature comforts (hand crank windows, turn the key to unlock the doors, etc.) but it will tow mamma's trailer so she's happy. I did add running boards so she can climb in and out without breaking a leg or dislocating a disc :).
