1st is just about perfect with 31" tall tires.

It's the rpm drop between the gears that kind of sucks, but for what I use the truck for it's fine.

I'm not sure what gear is in my 9 1/4 (the tag is gone) but first is fairly short and I find myself shifting between 2nd and 3rd a lot. Maybe not a lot but more than I care to.
 
Nice thread! I always have a few with my first being an old D150. Two chevrolets, one ford, then my first Dodge truck. Nothing but for 20+ years now. Current fleet.
Tow rig- 98 2500 V10
The Durango is my daily.
98 5.2 5 speed. Picked up a few months back for $400.
And then the king of the Hill my 95 i have had for 20 years. 5.9 5 speed.
I'll try to dig up some pics of my D150 and the couple R/T Dakota's i have had.

First photo: My '95 Dakota, 318 5 spd (with my 71 Scamp). Owned it since 1996 and then sold it in 2015 to someone who ended up being another FABO member. Has over 250k on it but it rusted out pretty bad now.

Second photo: My '88 D100, 318 2WD auto. I don't have it anymore but sold it to my cousin so it's still in the family currently.

Third photo: My daily driver now. '04 Quad cab, V8 5spd 4x4. I like it. Needs some things done like new headliner and bed rust addressed but only 74k on it right now.

@VSTwister Do the headliner on the white Dakota yourself. My wife and I did the one in her 04 Quad cab Dakota. You have to gut the interior, seats and all to get the fiberglass headliner board out, but it's not hard. Get all the old material off the fiberboard, and the wire brush it good. Go to the upholstery supply place and buy new headliner material, and glue it on. One thing I would do over is to buy glue you use in a spray gun vs the 3M canned glue. The canned glue works fine, but I didn't buy enough, and tried to stretch it out at the end. We had one corner that didn't stick well, and had to fix it later. Get 3 cans if you use that kind. You can buy the plastic fasteners that hold the rear of the headliner new at the dealership. It's not that hard, and you will be able to do it for about $50 yourself instead of $400 or more if you pay to get it done!
 
I just put mine away for winter but its nice out this week so maybe some more time for on

A few pictures of some of my Dodge trucks the first one is my beater with a heater that I'm using for this winter. It is a 2000 Ram 1500 with a 5.9 automatic 4x4 with plenty of rust.

Next truck is a 96 extended cab with a 5.9 2 wheel drive that the transmission has gone goofy in so it's a project for this coming year maybe anyway.

Next truck is an 81 d350 that' somebody stuck a 400 Big Block in for pulling a boat to and from Ohio to Florida.

Next I have a 2000 Dodge Durango with a 5.9 2 wheel drive that I need to put a rear axle in.

1577400586279-829536763.jpg


Next on the Hit Parade is a 98 I believe Dodge Durango 4 by 4 with a 5.2 in it I'm in the process of getting this ready for my niece. I'm going to give it to her to drive for the winter as it stands right now all it needs is a couple of tires and a little going over.

This next one is an 8 month of 85 manufacturers date. Just using it for parts now. The engine is down in my 76 Dart sport at the moment. It's a w150 that came with a 360 La motor.

That concludes the tour of the vehicles around my house. Which does not include the vehicles at the barn. Thank you for your time

Merry Christmas to all
