Bluezey Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Well I finally got a replacement for grey Dodge I had, 2008 inferno red 2500 Ram Diesel, with the six spd auto crew cab short box, and 127,xxx miles. The finish was in pretty tough shape when I got it home, but nothing that alot of Adams and alot of time didn't take care of! Took # 2 grandson to look at the monster truck when they were in town and got the Grave Digger in the shot or got the p/u in the shot. BTW I call it Tug Shine On Bluezey:pc: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 That's a big boy Ted! After doing a regular cab Ram earlier this year I don't envy you having an extra 3 foot of paint to polish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianT Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Congrats on the truck!! Just a word of caution about these Dodges... make sure everything that has to do with that front end is tight. The last thing you want/need is death wobble!!! My truck is not leveled and doesn't have larger than stock tires and I have death wobble. I have 130k on the truck and love it to death, but the death wobble almost makes me want to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had any issues with the wobble.I had my nephew put on new ball joints as my front tires were wearing bad, he did the ball joints and a rear axle seal, and I polished his Grand Prix. Should of heard him wine-baggin' about how his legs and back hurt after doing it in my garage without a lift, but he got his part done in a few hours and it took me like two days to get my part done! But I was happy with the trade, And I just got a set of five take off Nitto Grappler from him as well, 285/70/17, that were in pretty good shape. Michael, that's my p/u, this below is my Big Brute, '85 359 Pete! This is my whole outfit, but I don't usually have the tires on the front of the trailer like that. Now this take some time to get shined up:jester: Bluezey:pc: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluezey Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Why the long wheelbase on the Petey? This use to be my brother's truck and he at one time had a dump box on it, maybe that's the reason, it's about a 270" wheel base. Also I guess so it's harder for me to make tight corners.
