I got the Mighty Dodge back today!

[chargervert]

Well its been more than a year since I drove my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 Diesel,and it sure felt good to drive it again!

 

[chargervert]

I had a left front tire blowout,and it tore out the fusebox and all the wiring. It cost three grand,for parts and labor and more than a year to fix it,but it is running great,and everything seems to work right!

Glad everything worked out for you nice looking truck also.

 

[chargervert]

The carnage!

 

[Richard Cranium]

I thought you bought a replacement?

 

[chargervert]

More

 

[Dennis H]

What kind of tire, miles etc.

I thought you bought a replacement?

I did,but it dosen't tow like the Cummins!

 

[chargervert]

What kind of tire, miles etc.

It was a four year old BF Goodrich all terrain T/A.

 

[chargervert]

I had bought new wheels and tires off a 2018 Dodge, but I put the old wheels back on for the winter, it cost me big time!

 

[chargervert]

It has the SRT 10 hood on it,and I thought that someone would steal the hood off it while it sat outside in a not so good neighborhood for more than a year,but no one did.

Nice to see it's back. Did you manufacture a protective shield for the wiring like the factory didn't?

 

[Fran Blacker]

That sucks the big pickle! Cheaper than buying another unknown truck.

 

[chargervert]

The truck has 158K miles on it,and it runs as good as it did when I bought it with 32K miles on it. I am going to make a 1/4 steel plate to go in the wheel wells to protect the computer on the right,and fusebox on the left.

Today I got the fog lights installed, and put the new wheels and tires back on for good! 32 uncooperative lug nuts later ,and all that is left to do is clean th

e wheels! I had help with the lug nuts from my buddy Jack!

good to have the ol' girl back

a year that's nuts for a repair job

I do remember the thread about when it happened too

 

[Dennis H]

Man that’s a nice truck. Can’t say you don’t know Jack.

 

[chargervert]

All is good except Jack don't know his own strength and broke a wheel stud! Got her all cleaned up,and took it out for a ride, man that turbo sounds sweet!

I broke the wife's Challenger out of winter hibernation today too!
