New Member and New Truck!!! (pics)
Howdy all, I figured I would introduce myself and my new (old/used) rig.
I just purchased a CLEAN 1994 Dodge 2500 RCLB 2x4 5sp with 212,000 miles. It was the original owner all up until 1 year ago and the 2nd owner had it for several months and now I ended up with it. I bought the truck to use as a daily driver and possibly haul somethings around when needed.
It is a FULLY loaded truck and everything works, PW, PM, PL, a/c, tilt, cruise, overhead read out, limited slip rear end (found out the easy way), 3:55 rear, and it must have been a tow/camper package because it has rear mopar hitch and goose neck hitch that seems like it came stock. It also has 4 steel bars that hang down from the frame that i assume where for a bed camper.
Well so far I have done the BHAF, 4in turbo back (I don't know what drone folks complain about, I can hardly notice it any louder in the cab), silencer removal. I plan on bumping up the timing to 16* and putting in a 4,000rpm governor so I can full fuel up to the red zone (I don't plan on red lining my rpm, I just want the full fuel). Once the truck is paid off in a year I will be doing gauges and saving up for a 350-400hp upgrade for my clutch.

Nice ride and Welcome!
The drone is usually on the LWB CC models. The extra length of pipe is just enough to get a good resonance near the 2100 mark.
Good advice on the KDP too, worth the look see.

I bought the gasket and seal from Napa, bottle of whiskey from Joe's Liqour and I plan on knocking out the KDP this weekend and cutting out a tab from the left over 4in exhaust pipe.
Add cost of filters, oil, rear end fluid, etc. and it was not a cheap visit to Napa.
