New Guy

[AndrewGS]

Hi all, Andrew from Houston here. I had a chance to inspect a 2019 Ram recently and I was thoroughly impressed. I've always been a GM guy but recently started buying Fords. Both GM and Ford have been great, but this new Ram makes me want to give FCA a shot.

I built a Laramie Limited on the website and here she is.

Yep, same AndrewGS! What's your GMI user name?

I was on there years ago as Mineral02, something happened where they lost their database or something and my username and account disappeared. By that time the site had already in my opinion started to deteriorate after switching hands and the loss of NSAP so I've kind of just lurked around every now and then.

Yeah, I pretty much left completely in 2012. I was very active for years but it went to hell. Had a good run though. I'm friends with a bunch of us GMI old-timers on Facebook. I'm AndrewGSTX over there if you'd like to add me.

Well, after a year and a half I'm a 5th gen owner! I went back and forth on configurations and color combinations for a loooong time, but ended up in a Delmonico Red Laramie Level 1 with chrome. I think it's the best bang for the buck model out there, and it looks really good IMO. I was originally going to get 4WD but decided it was completely unnecessary for where and how I drive and would just end up being wasted money. I happened to find a truck locally that was on the lot at a good price so I went for it.

I'm adding the Mopar power running boards and have already done a muffler swap to a Borla XR-1, leaving the stock resonators in place. I also plan to add a Line-X liner, factory bed lamps, chrome tow hooks and the factory trailer brake controller.

Here are some videos of the exhaust.
