I bought new a 2001 2500 LB Ram and now have about 216000 miles on it. Can't afford a new one but these Rams with the Cummins seem to last for a very long time and mine runs fine and I've had very little trouble so far. I just ran across a YouTube web site who just bought a 2001 2500 CTD stock Ram and he started modifying it for his use. He has a fairly large subscription of 49K with several adventures but the one I was interested in was the modifications he did to his Ram. You find very few new websites on modifying older 24V 2nd gen trucks like this one. For those who might be interested in seeing it on YouTube his site is ParoDoXz. He is a young family man and it is interesting.
