What year is Big Iron?

I'm assuming it's got a Cummins?

Best diesel power plant on the road IMHO.  Nice looking paint from here.   cooldude

It's a '97. Not a Cummins...had one of those in a '94. It got killed by a sneaky Chevy thingy a while back: http://lifeisaroad.com/stories/2005/11/17/crunch.html

This one has a tweaked/chipped 8-liter V-10.

She sure looks purdy nothin' like a fresh coat of paint on a good truck.

Now all she needs is a little dressing up. Weather Tech makes great window deflectors that go right in the window channel they don't attach to the outside with tape or glue.

http://www.weathertech.com/dodge/1997/ram-truck-1500/side-window-deflectors/bodystyle/club-cab/

And front stone guards for the hood.

AVG has some nice stone deflectors too.


Good luck with her, she looks like a keeper
