So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Nice truck.
Thanks Bobby! It is a work in progress that will take years at this rate, but I'm happy with it so far. My first non-GM truck, but my 2011 gasser was going on it's third motor in under 25k miles. I decided to head in a different direction.
I should clarify. The first was rebuilt (new pistons, rings, ect.) due to excessive use of oil. 1.5 t o2 quarts per 1000 miles. The second was due to technician error. A snap ring came loose scoring #2 cylinder. Dealer replaced the entire engine. After the first oil change on the new motor the oil consumption was back. 1 quart of oil per tank of fuel. I believe it was tied to displacement on demand. Have you ever followed a full-sized GM truck or SUV down the highway and seen a puff of smoke when they accelerate after a long down grade or flat section of highway? Anyway, that 5.3 LOVED oil and I was sick of hearing. "That's normal for this motor." or "Don't worry about it, it is within spec." A new truck that burns that much oil doesn't work for me. I traded for this Cummins and have been very pleased. These new Ram trucks have come a long way.I'm a DOT on my own thread!
but now the wife and kids want steps!
I was thinking maybe some N-Fabs...http://www.n-fab.com/products/sfID1/67/sfID2/83/sfID3/84/productID/322Although I do like AMP steps.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
