1996 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 Laramie SLT 2dr Extended Cab 4WD LB (5.9L 8cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I think that I paid too much for the
truck, but it has been a good performer
and after I put taller rear ends in
(3.54)< I began getting 20 miles per
gallon. This is better than my wife
gets with her Jeep GC Limited.

1995 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 Laramie SLT 2dr Extended Cab LB (5.9L 8cyl naturally aspired 5M)
In stock form it was a slug. Add injectors and a turbo and you have a fun to drive truck. MPG 16 to 20 empty. 12 to 15 towing. Auto trannys need to be upgraded with power upgrades.

1996 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 Laramie SLT 2dr Extended Cab LB (5.9L 8cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I pull multi-horse trailer when the
truck rolls. I could not be more
pleased with the power and fuel
economy.It has never failed to start
and run well. The secret is doing the
maint. ON TIME. Keep the fuel filter
changed ON TIME abd you will be happy.

Since I purchased it in 1995 no repairs has been done. Gas mileage has not been excellent, but I have the V10 model.
