Noobie with New TRUCK!

HoodRich · 07-16-2007, 09:27 PM

I just got back home after trading my old '99 CTD in on a "new to me" '02. I am still so excited I had to post about it somewhere, specs are in my signautre. It is soooo much nicer than my old beat to snoot, ex-work truck '99, that looked like the poster child from the Carrie Underwood Before he Cheats video.

I wanted a 6-speed so bad but settled on the auto with out knowing a whole lot about the 2nd Gen CTD world. I really think I found a much nicer truck this go around (4months later) and was able to make an even more informed decision thanks to all the members of this board, so THANKS!

(I'll post some pics tomorrow just for kicks.)

After having my old '99 CTD up for sale for the past month I have been watching for a suitable replacement to pop up at a local dealership for a couple weeks and Saturday I checked out this truck, and Monday I drove it home after trading the old '99.
It had all the options I needed;
2002 Dodge 2500 4x4, HO 6speed, Dana 60/80 3:55's anit-spin, 4-wheel disc brakes, nice clean bed and the nicer aluminum wheels.
