I finally got around to buying a CTD , it's not exactly what i was looking for , but it'll do for now.

as i received it :



Cold morning eh?



New stance:









old vs new:





and i just like this picture:

 

yikes, too early in the season for me to see -5 degrees,,,,,, looks like ya had that out int he dornfield already, good luck with it and them new meats..... they look great for the mud but for the road, be ready to reach for replacements sooner than you would like.

 

The first thing i did was head back into the corn field looking for some mud

As long as these tires get me to next summer , i'm satisfied. I probably won't put 20 000 a yr on.

 

Man that tail pipe looks awfully small for the diesel? Is it just me or the angle on the picture or what?

 

nice truck!

Let the BOMBing begin!! he he he he he, hope it treats you right, good luck...

Gee! I sure would like to see some pics of your truck. Just kidding, nice looking ride hope it serves you well.

Good lookin unit. Congrats.

 

truck looks good, do those tires rub any and how do they fit on stock rims. curious because i have 265 and want 285 but dont want any rubing or irregular tire wear.

 

First year 2nd Gens had 3 inch exhaust from the turbo back. Personally I think 3 inch is way too small for any diesel... but like anything... that can be fixed

 

I gotta call ya on 2 counts there a-poc , 94 was first year. They have 3.5" down pipe , 4" from the cat to the muffler , then the tailpipe is 3.5"

I know it looks tiny in the picture , but it is 3.5" , i have a 5" tip to go on soon.

 

The tires fit just perfect. There is no rub anywhere at all even when flexing the suspension, and they only have about 60 miles on them now , so i can't exactly answer the wear part of the question yet.

 

what kinda tires are those? kinda remind me of a toned-down nitto mud-grappler.

 

Sweet truck, and I like the tires!

Those are Dayton timberline m/t tires , 285 75 16. From the little i have used (read tested) them , they work awsome!

I latched onto a semi loaded with corn this afternoon , he was stuck in the snow, dropped her into 4 low and i managed to pull him enough to get him moving.

 

I can't believe no one's said Congrats on getting a 12 valve. Well, congrats on the 12 valve!

A 95 gasser ram was replaced by my 05. Great truck. I'd tell you about the rust that you probably have on the bottom of the doors, but you're passed the 7/100 warranty on getting it fixed n/c, like I did. The body looks solid from the pics.

I hope your luck is as good as mine was.
