Well my diesel ramcharger,just returned from my trip to florida 32,000 trouble free miles

 

[MChrist]

Very sharp truck with a great combo!! What wheelbase is that?

 

[Shadrach]

I believe all R/C were 106" ( I prefer my 160. 5" 1 ton ) Looks Good Shad

 

[pwerwagn]

Awesome!!! I bet its nice to have a trouble free small diesel powered SUV like that.



I hope to finish mine someday... .

 

[S.Morris]

Good looking truck. What range of fuel mileage do you get, with what transmission/gears?

 

[GCP]

I sure wish Dodge/RAM would bring back the Ram Charger! I'd buy a Cummins 4 door version tomorrow if they were available!

I'd buy one also. The current Durango offering is just too small for me.

 

[jgillott]

Very nice Ramcharger by the way. I'd love to have one built like that.

I agree the Durango is too small, not to mention the lack of a diesel.

Agreed!

There's two ways to do it. Get a R/C. Get a 4x4 W250 donor truck. park'em side by side in your truck barn and do it yourself... you can probably go from "should I?" to "DONE!" for less than $10000, if you do all the labor yourself. OR, you could do it the way we did for my son's... . had no shopspace, had no place to store a donor, etc. etc. etc. and paid out the wazoo for labor... . Pretty damn embarassing how many $$ are in it, but, it's built forever. Has a VE-pumped engine, 14cm NWG turbine, bigger compressor pinwheel (operates @ high altitude) black dragon injectors, SouthBend/nv4500/NP205 and D-60's front and rear. Disc brakes all the way around. RhinoCoat all over it, inside and out. Bumpers from Tactical Armor Group. It's a beasty thing.

 

[rMetzger]

By the way... . if you ever RhinoCoat a whole truck, don't bother putting clear-coat on it. It'll just remind you of Michael Jackson's skin disorder until time, dust, rain and etc finish flaking it off.

 

[roadking]

17 mpg, auto, 355 gears

 

[roadking]

all it takes is 2 of the right doaners

we should start taking orders and selling them easyist swap ever

 

[Flying_gage]

Nice. I too would purchase a tahoe/suburban type Dodge product with the Cummins combo. .

 

[roadking]

I will build you

takeing order's now .

 

[rMetzger]

After having built (well... . my most well-used tool was a damn checkbook) "Da Beast", and driven it whenever RJ wasn't looking, I find myself wanting one like it, or a Brummins (Bronco/Cummins), a Jummins (GMC Jimmy/Cummins), a Blummins (Blazer/Cummins), or a Summins (Suburban/Cummins), or maybe even a Dummins (Durango/Cummins)... ... Or, even just hit the damn eBay and score an old Army CUCV (6. 2 N/A Wheezil-under-powered Blazer), and, when the 6. 2 craps out, go with a BOMBed 4BT.

The Ramcharger's are Plentful out here in Ca. how many want 1 I'm sure we could get em going fairly easy it would be just like doing a crewcab but shorter . If you guy's are serious PM me I'll see what I can dig up . Nice thing about west coast is No Rust there the easiest to do that way My crewcab took me 16 day's so this shouldn't be near as rough . find a 4x4 and just swap everything drivetrain wise over .
