yeah, it's all about the benjamins, ain't it?! ...or lack of benjamins anyways. I'm thinking going back to stock sized wheels, with a larger diameter tire to soften the ride some. This thing ain't a sports car so cornering isn't my main concern M edited to add: while I'm thinking about it...

The PO put stock wheels/tires from a '16 Laramie on the truck before I got it. 20" wheels: 285/60/20 IIRC Checked the pressure the other day and dropped em all to about 50psi M

I thought I did, but if I didn't: 2004 2500 crew cab shortbed w the 5.7 engine and a 5MT. That 5MT is the reason I bought the truck. There's an ARE cap on the back that may be helping a wee bit AFAIK it's bone stock suspension-wise, but I've only had the thing for a few weeks. Can't register...

It isn't the back that's bad, it's the front! IDK if there's 'diesel' springs in the front that's making the thing ride like a tank or just that I need to adjust my expectations. Thuren doesn't seem to make springs for my gen gas trucks these days. ...at least not in the 'I don't want any...

So the new-to-me Ram 2500 arrived a few weeks ago. Ride sucks eggs. I thought my 2wd PSD rode somewhat stiffly. This thing is like the deuce and a half I drove while in the Army. Maybe even stiffer. Gotta do something about that before driving to Big Bend next winter. M

interesting: it has the 2wd bumper on the front. 4wd bumpers have the cut-outs Miss my 96 extended cab, 2wd PSD. When I was shopping I ran across a guy that had a version of your truck. Talking to him, he said he got 8mpg. Uphill. Downhill. Towing. Didn't seem to matter 'cause he got 8mpg. I...

My new-to-me 04 2500 CCSB should be coming on Tues. 1 owner, gas engine, 5sp manual, 120k miles. Little rust over the fenders, but otherwise? darn good shape. Likely to look like the white truck posted a bit ago once I get it where I want it. M

As much as I still feel like a kid in the 70s/80s, the middle-aged guy staring back at me from the mirror says otherwise. M

I have a line on a 95 M3 in so-so condition. Cheap. Thinking about it. If it was a manual, it'd already be in the driveway M

Did I mention 'no rust that I could see?' Engine fired right up and purred like the proverbial kitten I saw when the guy got this truck. I also saw when it went up on ramps because of the brakes. (I thought he'd trashed the engine or trans) It's on one of my local bicycling routes. The guy...

It's just me, why not?! Found one in good shape other than needing a brake line. Decently inexpensive. Thinking about a drive to Ushuaia at some point 'soon.' Mebbe start with the desert SW as a 'starter trip' next winter when the bicycle fixing business slows down. Good idea? Bad idea...

I don't doubt it! M

If he didn't, I will! M

That ain't Maryland! M

I owned a 2wd 96 PSD. Around town I got 14-17mpg. Road trips I could squeeze out low 20s if I drove with the semi-trucks. Towing eastbound w the ex's Camaro on a trailer? 14mpg Towing westbound? 10ish mpg M

My little brother's Expedition finally gave up the ghost electrical-wise at 350k mi. If I could get it started, it'd probably still run great! M

I like me some Puerto Penasco. Spent a bit of time there. M

what size? I have a Med SIR 9 I could sell. They have a derailleur hanger that you can buy, but I don't have one for mine. M

Hey Ned: the only thing better would have been if you'd put a top on that thing that you could stand up in ala a Habitat or the other new AL tops. Extend the front to overhang the cab, then put a bed in the front with the flip? No need for a RTT M

That's exactly the van I've been looking for for a while now. I keep waffling between one of the older vans and a Transit.... M
