Tell me about your truck.

[carb87]

Well I thought I'd share a little about my truck and please comment with something aboutyour truck/s. Mines nothing special but she gets the job done. It's a 2010 ram 1500 slt with the last gen 4.7l in it. I have a Hellbentsteel leveling kit on it with LT285/70r17(stock was P265/70r17). I put a hypertech programer on it (had it from a previous truck there are better ones for this motor.) I installed a set of rigid led fog lights and it came with a trifold tonneau cover on it when I bought it. I pull a travel trailer with it as well as daily drive it. Hasn't let me down yet. Future plans for it is I'd like to make a custom front hitch and get a removable winch set up and I'd like to build a headache rack and maybe some custom side steps and if I can convince the wife maybe a lift.

Mine's a 14 with the 5.7l and the eight speed. I've only had it a year but I still love it, smooth and comfortable ride down the road and has yet to give me any real issues aside from a water pump, (thanks warranty). Made a long haul from Houston to northern Minn loaded like this with no issues unless you count the alarm going off in the wee hours of the morning in a rest area and I couldn't figure out how to shut it off, (apologizing to the truckers in that rest area as it took me 15 minutes or more to do so).

Of course I still have several of the 83 to 93 version to do the dirty work..........

Nice looking rig you have. I wanted that combo for transmission and engine but didn’t have the funds at that time. Glad to here she's running good for you. The longest trip I've taken in mine was from oregon/washington boarder to Sacramento pulling a 6x12 enclosed trailer. But it did pretty good. As of right now this is my only truck but I'd love to in the future get a 70s again loved the 78 power wagon I drove in high school.

My 98 is my yard mule since I got the Avenger. 360 auto needing some front end attention, rear brakes and some other assorted tlc.

My 72 Crew cab project has most the parts I'll need (til I find some other crap I didn't know about!) to build a sweet cruiser. 440/727 '89 Dana 60's front and back lifted some, triple double chrome roll bar, etc.

Next time pulling the horn relay will quiet it fast. You can then find the alarm instructions in silence?

Well, the RamCharger is gone now, but the rest are the "work" fleet. I need to make a couple more disappear yet, there's about 3 that aren't included and yard space is gettin' tight.

Nice!

I was looking for a headache rack that would fit my truck, so I went on the hunt. I found a lot of racks out there, but they were either made cheaply or not made to fit the type of truck I had.

Luckily, I found this one. It's made from nearly 1/4" wall aluminium pipe and is powder coated. It's also built in North America!

The build quality was what sold me on this headache rack—it's just so sturdy. And it comes with tons of accessories available too, like lights and speakers and other cool things.

I'm so glad I found this product and can't wait to install it!

 

[NioMarvin83]

You guys have some awesome trucks. I got my Ford Super Duty F450 XL from Wallwork Trucks a few months ago and I am loving it. It's my first truck and I must admit I was a little intimidated when I first drove it but now all I feel is excitement.
