New bowtie guy from Iowa

[TyCrawf]

Paid $800, plus a battery. Looking into going to 4.11 gears, because I'm not really feeling the need to top out the Gu6 (3.42?) Gears.

I hope not to rub anyone wrong being a Mopar guy. Haha

$800?! You made off like a bandit, honestly. You could fix it up and get upwards of 4K. I wish I could find deals like that. And I wouldn't worry about rubbing anyone the wrong way. We're all truck and car guys here

Welcome from a former Iowan! I lived just down the road from Ames up until 2007, miss it a little more each day living here in North Carolina,

Ugh, I have literally read through 37 pages on the DIC, and I am still kinda **** up on the idea, I've heard things about 411 ecm, things that work and don't, it seems like I need to find a dedicated sticky. Searching on here seems to be difficult, most of it may be the verbiage (as I am new to it).

As of right now, I am compiling bookmarks, and parts list of the mods. And hot damn It's getting extensive (all in good time).

Howdy neighbor!
I was just admiring that truck this morning on the way by...

 

[TyCrawf]

Why thanks, ha-ha.

 

[TyCrawf]

Yeah, truck is actually at my buddy's house, til I can make room. I'm about five blocks away.

Hey all, just bought a 1998 ecsb. Got a good deal as a no start. Just put in a battery.



Some things need attention, but it runs and drives.

Thanks.

Welcome from iowa. Lot of us in this board. We have meets periodically. I talked to the guy on this truck week or so ago.

4k? Haha

 

[TyCrawf]

The worst part is, I'm not a body guy, so I'll either farm out the patch work, or replace the cab and box. Weeeee.

And I don't feel like he needs to know it was just a battery... I felt bad for the guy, but I just so happened to come into some luck.
