Well, sold the first gen and got myself into a 2004 3500.
I wanted to thank all the guys who have helped me out over the last 9 years here, teaching me about these trucks and helping me keep mine going.
I've learned a lot, and realy feel kinda sad that I need to pretty much start all over again learning about the 3rd Gen's.

I do believe the First Gen guys on DTR are the MOST helpful, friendly and eager to assist each other, people to be found on the net..

I may still stick my head in from time to time, I may not be driving one now, but I aint forgetting everything I've been taught, maybe I can still try to pay a little of it back.
Been fun guys,
Keep the rubber side down!

 

Why did you sell it? To rough?

 

Traitor !

Na.... just goofin.... how about a few pix of the new (older) ride ???

Not all of us, my dear friend.... Some of us want to know too much !



I thought it was "keep the rubber on " ???? Oh, well, I guess I misunderstand things from time to time.....

Let's see the new RIDE !

 

I have to agree with this 100%. I have pretty much quit participation in forums regarding diesels. The 4th gen guys in general are really unpleasant to deal with on forums.

 

NOt really, but the grand-kids are wanting ot go places with us, and you cant safely put a child seat in the back of a 1st Gen Clubcab!

 

Oh....Nice dually Chris....

 

Wow !


That's perty

 

yea, nicest vehicle I've ever owned! almost scared to take it down the gravel road!
But its 9 yrs old, and has 163K on it.. got it for 16k... think I got an OK deal..

 

I understand where youare coming from. I am looking to get rid of some toys too. Wife wants a second kid and i don't think driving will be easy with two car seats in a single cab 5spd.

 

Yeah, same here. We're touching on the kid thing, don't have any but we want them. I think we're going to get a SUV. She's been looking, her car isn't the best. I keep dumping new parts into it and now the transmission has a grind.

 

As pour lives grow, our priorities change
When my kids came along, it was goodbye to my jeeps.
Now it's grand kids and goodbye to my 1st Gen.
Funny thing is, doing it for them takes the sting out of it

 

Nice looking new dually.
You'll love the crew cab space.

 

Well when i saw your post i was like...aww man what is cooler than a nice old 1st gen...

then i saw the pic of the new truck and was ...OHHHHH THATS NICE.

so i can see where your (cummin) from.

thats very nice, and im shure if i drove one i would be thinkin in my head ( now how can i traid,sell,steal...to get one of these.

been nice talkin with ya.

be safe...and you will always be givin the old trucks the double take as we drive by and we will be saying ( man i bet that thing rides good.)

 

Now don't get a idea of selling your 1st gen dually...

 

If there was a way i could keep it and get a little newer one i would in a heartbeat.
