Congrats on the new truck Dave. It seems like it's been a while since we've heard from you. With a dually 6.4 and 4.10 gearing you should be able to pull a house off it's foundation.

I see you updated, Is that much better then the V10? the ram's tranny was shutering when pulling out with the rv so i saved up 3 grand to build the tranny then seen this truck and put the 3 grand down instead LOL my kids like all the extra room.

Sharp truck Dave.. :thumbrt: .... seen your posts on "Other sites"...L.O.L. ...Wow, 4:10, should be a real puller. I esp. like the old style fenders. over the duallys..............I do not care for the newer "Rounded look" :ymsick:

Me to I have no idea what they were thinking with the new dually fenders it is like they took style away and went back to the old ram days. I just hope i can get 10 MPG from it. it only has 42 thousand miles that is the newest lowest mile truck i ever owned in my life.

Thanks for noticing Dave. The new truck is everything I'd hoped it would be and if it proves to be as reliable as the V10 was I'll be very happy. Like you we now have a CC with tons of room. It's so nice to be able to take our friends with us when we go on day trips.

I like the new fenders myself. Makes it a bit easier reaching over the side of the bed. Terry likes the new one's becuase the "hips don't look so big". :lol:

Jeff, Style Man, style..............the "Old style" flow, like they were thought about. The new ones look to me like "Oh dear, we forgot we had 4 tires on the rear, now what to do about it...quick" :!!............. =))
