My dad is the original owner of this truck...it has 180,000 miles and is a 1996 5.9 sport. ive got to admit my dad NEVER took good care of the truck. I grew up with this truck my whole life and my dad later passed it on to me. As i said before my dad didn't take good care of it so i have a long road ahead of me but i started off by giving the paint some life again (clay, polish, wax etc.)                  

               PLEASE RATE MY RIDE AND POLE AS I WILL RETURN THE FAVOR

 BEFORE                                             AFTER

Hey thanks for the comment, I appreciate it :). Did you buff the hood, or just clay, wax and hand polish? It definitely got some of the swirl marks out. The sport bumper upgrade is on the expensive side. I was gonna do it, but junkyards rarely have the bumper cover, and OEM and aftermarket prices on them are insane ($400 for the cover, let alone the different framework). Id stick with a Mopar Performance air breather over a K&N CAI, its cheaper, and just as efficient. (http://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen-ram/81050-k-and-n-fipk-no-more.html) Looks like a good project and good luck. Just curious btw, has the tranny been replaced yet?
