Well......in the 2 weeks since I bought it only 2 very minor flaws were discovered with the truck. The cruise control didn't work and the idle was sticking up pretty high (1900 - 2000 rpm).
The cruise control turned out to be just a broken vacuum line which I easily fixed and the idle problem was just gunk on the throttle spring and butterfly/choke assembly. A bit of penetrating oil then later some solvent cleared that right up.
The A/C will freeze the tits off you and after discovering the aftermarket air ride suspension and putting 30 psi in them the handling is excellent! You can make a whip maneuver with the steering wheel and it will not oversteer or lean. Fuckin' sweet!!!!
I like the shit out of this truck and can't wait to see how it will do in snotty winter conditions. (Not that I'm asking for an early winter mind you)
Somewhere around late Oct or early Nov I need to get some new rubber as what's on it now won't be really good enough to last the season. Have new ones already scoped out and priced at my local tire shop and they already entered the truck into their database. (Gotta love having friends in the business)
I'm a happy Ram owner!
