Ram 4000

[MCummings]

Saw a mexican Ram on ton dually w/o a bed sitting at a local upfitter. It was a SFA, 2wd, DRA, getting ready for a flatbed. I didn't get a picture of the entire truck, but I thought you'd like to see the metric gauges.

Was it the C&C? or reg truck frame?

It is not a C&C.



These trucks have been made in Mexico for years, but rarely are they diesels. Always Propane powered. Sometimes even dual axled duallies in the rear.

And plain jane! A plug where the radio antenna should go!

Interesting that they would be propane powered! Maybe because Mexico's emissions standards are so lax? It is fairly simple to make a gasoline engine run on propane without a computer. I do the conversions on forklifts regularly.

Looks like a nice truck though! I would love to have it as a service truck!

If you would like a particular picture of this truck it is still sitting at the upfitters shop. Let me know.



I will have to correct myself. The "regular" trucks may be CNG fueled, not propane. Whatever they are, they are cammed up gassers usually running "glasspacks"

Where do you think I can find thoes ram 4000 emblems. I searched ebay and nothing came up. The only thing I can think of is to call a mexican dealership and talk to the parts guy but yo no hablao engleis... .



I need the 4 to make a custom emblem since it seems everyone except me is sooooo concerned if its a 2500 or 3500

I was in Chihuahua Mexico last year, I saw a lot of Ram 4000's drving around out there, alot were big box trucks or flatbeds and a few were Cummins powered. As far as propane power, that is common in a lot of pickup trucks of all kinds in Mexico. I bet a third of the pickups down there have a big propane tank in the bed, they run on propane when they are unloaded, it is cheaper than gasoline down there.
