    The '01 was getting pretty unpredictable, so it was time to find a new one that was dependable and up to the task of pulling the camper.

    A fellow camper had decided to upgrade and i was able to buy his old truck.
    2007.5 Ram 2500 megacab 6.7 TD
    With 60,000 miles:dex:

    Sweet looking truck TurboDiesel. Are you going to get it rust proofed? I have a rust proofing system that I have on order.

    You're welcome to use it if you want once I get it. There is a spray gun with different attachments that allows you to spray inside the doors and all the little nooks and crannies. It's called fluid film.

    As long as you have an air compressor if you buy the liquid I'll lend you the gun with the attachments.

    Nice looking truck! I also have a 2007, 6.7 Ram 3500 crew cab long bed dually and use it to pull my camper among other things. Never had one issue with it yet, it's a towing machine with 650 ft. Lb. of torque.

    It looks really clean and that blue paint looks great! :yes:

    6 speed auto with diesel exhaust brake?

    Excellent offer! :handshake:

    We are fortunate to have a guy nearby that does oil spray for $40 cars, $50 pickups, larger equipment is a lil more based on size/complexity. He does a good job and the product he uses really works well too...I knew the brand at one point but forget now...it was not something I had heard of before.
    Anyways, I get all our vehicles done every other year...and my employer uses them too now :yes:
