#54 of 198 Bit the bullet earlier than planned by tfuder Feb 07, 2005 (7:08 am)
I introduced myself on the board last year, with my '94 standard cab, short bed, 5.9L customized Ram. At the time, I said I'd get it a paint job and try to run it for anothe 50K miles befor upgrading to an '04 or '05 quad cab.   Well, so much for plans. I still have my '94 (although it's up for sale), but I was made an offer I could no refuse on a family member's 2002 Quad Cab (5.9L V8, light silver, slate cloth interior, SLT Plus trim level, 4x4, Sport package, aftermarket sunroof, 17" wheels, towing package). It had 15K miles on it, and I paid $15K for it.   I parked it next to my '94, and it's like father and son - it is SOOOO much bigger than my old truck. I sit much higher, and although it was 'too big' for my relative, it fits me like a glove. I've only had it for about a week, and could not be happier.   Even better, I get about 1mpg better gas mileage, both in town and on the road than I did with my '94 - I'll assume it's because of advances in engine technology and aerodynamics - because it should, theoretically be getting *less* mileage, as it's a 4x4 and heavier.   The engine is the same power as my old truck, but much, much quieter (since the '94 had flowmaster with dual exhaust on it, and this one is stock).   Anyway, enough gushing for now. Welcome, newcomers to the board. I hope I won't need to pester dustyk for any help with the 'new' truck, either!   Todd

My name is Allen, Columbus, Ohio, and have a 2004 RAM 1500, 4x4, HEMI, Quad Cab. It is great! I hope to do some performance upgrades to it after it is broken in. Hope to pick up ideas in this group.

Replying to: emil (Feb 22, 2005 10:25 am) simple... just get a 10 mm socket or wrench. disconnect and reconnect your battery cable. as for "permanantly turning it off", well a small piece of black tape always works for me.        best regards,     - luke duke Replies to this message: shoup (Jun 17, 2005 11:19 am)

Replying to: iowabigguy (Jun 03, 2004 7:07 pm) hi rick ,the worst 2 are on the drivers side, i used 3/8 short extension connected onto my plug socket with a 3/8universal coupling connected to my rachet, its a bit of a tight fit, but it can be done good luck, and use gloves.
