Hi, This is my baby. I haven't done much to it because I was waiting for the warranty to end, but now it's ended and it's time to have some fun.

I bought the truck new off the trailer at the dealer. This is actually the 3nd R/T I ended up getting. The first one was a Silver 2001. I had been working with the dealer for 2-4 days on it. On my final drive down to sign the paper work and pick it up they called me to tell me some one else just drove off in it. The 2nd one a Black 2001 was going to be mine but they decided to change the price on me in the finance office. The salesrep I worked with got fired the day before so I walked away. After another couple of weeks another dealer found this one in another city. It was the last one in Texas. I'm glad i waited and got this one. I've only seen one other 2001 White CC. I don't know how many were made in 2001 but I'm trying to find out.

I've started off with simple items. Cross drilled and slotted stainless steel disk brakes. I was running full Ceramic pads but they ran way to hot. I ended up putting hot spots on both disc after only a few thousand babied miles on them. After resurfacing the the disc I went back to metalic performance pads. They really seem to work as good but cover the wheels in dust.


I put in clear turn signals with clear bulbs. The orange ones just looked out of place


Flush mount removable bed cover.
