Last diesel has left the building.

My (wife's) 2014 Ram 3500 cummins western brown tradesman is history. I got in from work this morning and my wife was going nuts about a 2015 black convertible ( I hate convertibles) mustang GT. Later when I got up it was pretty much going down so I was elbows and a-holes for about an hour washing vacuuming and detailing the ram getting her ready for trade-in. And then off they went to Houston. She's still there getting it done. We'll be an all Ford family now: 1980 Bronco, 2015 F-350 6.2 CCLB, and the mustang. Lots of mixed feelings but my diesel days are done.

Anybody need an unopened box of blue def?

Nice GT! So did the dealer not fill it up or did the wife burn a tank of gas getting it home?

Nice Ride
I too had a rag top for a while. You get used to the noise, but I got tired of sitting on the ground and went back to a truck. I miss it on nice summer nights but cant have everything.

Apparently it was not filled with gas. Yeah its kinda cool but at the end of the day its completely useless. And unsurvivable in an accident. Oh well.....here's the herd

Factory wheels were looking pretty sad.

These look very close to originals and only cost $45/ea.

If you really want to change the sound of the 5.0, pick up a set of Rousch mufflers. My son did it to his '14 and it sounds AMAZING!

That 300 6 is probably my favorite older gas motor of all time. I still kick myself for passing on an ex-forest service 92 Bronco that had the 300 and a manual 5 spd that I saw on CL locally.
