I bought a 1990 Ram 50 4x4 V6 manual trans with 90k miles about two yeas ago.

It's been a long tale of lows and highs, frustrations, hard won victories, long nights, and frustrations.

It's kind of a unique looking truck. I get comments about it all the time.

23802

That's a home made flat bed, and chrome diesel truck exhaust pipes. Yes, actual working exhaust pipes with the flapper covers on them.

There are a few stories I'll be sharing, and some knowledge I need to gain as the time goes on here.

So more later, but for now, just saying hi.

Hi and welcome to mightyram. The exhaust stacks were a mod from way back and you were able to order kits for this style of mini truck. Owning a D-50/Ram50/MM comes with pitfalls unless you were lucky to get a low mileage or well maintained example. But they are worth the busted knuckles and treasure hunts when they're on the road and running right.

Hello, Welcome to the boards.

You have a mean looking little truck there. Keep us posted. As time passes and you learn all the tips and tricks to keep them going. They are not so bad to keep and sure fun to drive.
