so around the middle of june, 2016, I drove into the city, said goodbye to my '15 ram 1500 laramie, and said hello to my 2016 ram 3500 cclb. It had been a little over a year since i had owned a diesel, and how i missed it so.

The wife was not a fan. Though she hates when i spend money in any way shape or form, and as I saw it, I was just delaying the purchase of another diesel by not buying sooner. But the first test was that very weekend. I loaded up some sheet metal, couple sheets of pressure treated plywood, an outlandishly heavy quad (can am outlander xmr, nearly 1000 disgusting lbs) and the dog for good measure. a load that would have surely put a nice california lean into my 1500, even with the 30% extra duty rear springs I had installed in it. But the 3500 handled it like a champ. I don't know if it even squatted an inch. made the 250 km trip out to the family farm, without issue. Well maybe one issue, I was not a fan if the capless fuel neck.

This led to my first "mod", a green anodized aluminum fuel cap. It has a nice oring and a built in magnet so it hangs on the fuel door hinge when filling.
next weekend led to another test. some more random scraps that i took from the city out to the farm, and my 24' trailer loaded with my sled deck, some supply's to refurbish the deck, and my 2 quads. again, pulled like a dream.

Then i did some research and decided it was time for a couple more mods. so i did the BD performance steering box brace and the BDS 5500 Dual Stabilizer kit. sadly these types of mods on a truck with less than 3000 km, go without incident, so the story telling is pretty bland, and since no parts are wore out, there no "new, tighter" feeling or any new feeling at all when i hoped back into the truck after the install. But a good upgrade none the less. Shortly after this, I pulled the intake baffle out of the intake horn.
Show us some pics! You from Saskatchewan?

@kreklevich I do believe your new here and I'd lke to extend ato the forum
As to the wife not being happy ... well there is one in every relationship that keeps close eye on the $$$. And rightly so. My wife does the same. Sort of slows me up where it last longer then if she wasn't doing it. So don't feel lonely. It's a good thing.
I agree with @waeking how 'bout some pictures ???

Yeah I am. Can't wait to delete this beast. My duramax was a 600 hp beast and I want to turn this thing into something wicked.
