So am I crazy to want to go from a 98 supercab with a 3.0 to a 95 base model single cab I found that has 66k, bench seat, the 95 exploder dash, and a automatic trans 2.3 lime? My truck has hand crank windows and manual locks and it's okay but I want to explore the world of these shitboxes we all love....

Actually, no, it doesn't. Most sewage treatment plants filter out the solid waste. That goes to the garbage dump, in an environmentally safe storage facility. The liquid is treated, and, then, yes, it is released into the river system.



Fish don't have anywhere else to poop. People do.

yep he is correct I worked in the Waste Management Field cleaning shit pumps and fixing shit pumps and Wastewater Department as and fixing shity repairs on water mains going to meter boxes or big ass 6 in mega lug water mains......just cuz I'm 16 doesn't mean I don't have hard work under my belt unlike my panzy generation generation z

Who the f*ck am I kidding, they'd just make fun of me there as well.

Rusty Dodge Truck is redundant.

That just lets water drain out of the doors easier

Go back pre 94 and dodge trucks had zinc coated bodies that were awesome. But chrysler basically gave up on life around that time and went into a shame spiral until their suicide by fiat in 2014.

They were also paint resistant...

Normally when you see a dodge truck with that much rust you would think its all bad but all the ones I've seen had really good looking frames. Compare that to a ranger and when you see that much rust there is normally nothing left on the frame if it hasn't broke yet. That dodge aint nothing compared to some of the dodges I've seen in ohio. Theres one I see all the time i'll try to get a pic of it. PacificGreen…. Yes you are crazy but both of those have ups and downs. Your current has more room and could actually pull a trailer, the 2.3 will get way better gas mileage than the 3.0 but you will struggle with trailers depending on how big and how heavy. If it were a 5 speed 2.3 then it would be worth it IMO but since it is not I wouldn't bother. Low miles don't mean squat anymore. Low miles just means you are going to be replacing a bunch of wear items soon.

Pffffft paint is for fat people...

Except when talking about body paint.

Minus the clear coat my 89 ram charger was still rust free and had all its paint when I sold it a few years ago. I did have an 87 that was repainted at some point and yea the paint basically fell off like sunburnt skin after several years, but it still didn't rust!

I seem to remember GM products having a paint adhesion problem too. Not that I’m defending Chrysler products by any means.

 

[Dirtman]

I'll defend mopar, not Chrysler... mopar has been dead for 25 years...

They did in the late 80's/early 90's. Bricknose Ford's did too.
