New 488 Ram owner
I just joined the Mopar family a week ago by picking a 1996 pickup. She's a V10 2500 2wd with about 213,000 on it. aside from a few old truck things ( door panels coming off, power locks only work on one side, you know normal wear) it looks to be a well taken care of truck. Missing a few things of coarse (air intake tube and looks to only have one Cat) but on rips on the seats or big dents in the body. I will post pics if you want but I think we all know what one looks like in "was" silver. I'm hoping this truck helps convert my husband from old Ford diesels to gas engines. just a

Welcome.
I have a '95 3500 manual 3.54 rear gear, love this truck, will get 13 mpg (Canadian gallon) towing working hard.
My Ford Mechanic son has changed to love the gas engines as the newer diesels are powerful but very costly to repair.
Don't over rev the V 10, it's a long stroke Magnum not a Viper, love the torque and sound of this engine.
