Re: replacing truck?
And I can tow about a dozen of those (under GCWR). It's not for everyone, but it sure is fun to tool around in! Nice to never (so far) say "weight limited honey so load up less".Mike Clay wrote:Why I can buy two of these for the price of yourscampswithcritters wrote:Put on the big boy pants and buy a real puller!

Re: replacing truck?
Another bright side to the big boy truck is there are only 6 injectors! But boy are they big and really pass the fuel!

Rich,
You can now get the Dodge in a 4500 or a 5500. Get the crew cab cab & chasis and add one of those cool TV beds.

Re: replacing truck?
Some pickup's only have 6 injectors! I can get a set(6) for 300 bucks also, and my +60HP ones were only 500 bucks. And a good back yard mechanic can install them him/her self!campswithcritters wrote:Another bright side to the big boy truck is there are only 6 injectors!

6 in a row, made to tow!

Re: replacing truck?
Well, really it is OUR money for MY truck!!
Bruce...Big Boy Pants??? How am I supposed to drive that around as a daily driver?? If it can't fit thru a Dunkin Donuts drive thru I'm not interested.
The 3500 with the 4:10 gear has a 17K lb to rating so, I really don't need the 4500. Although I do like them and will price them also.
Thanks all!!
Rich

Re: replacing truck?
So, I drove the Dodge yesterday with the 6 spd auto and the 6.7 Cummins. Nice truck. A lot of nice options, heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, lots of cool toys. I liked the way it drives, 70 mph in 6th gear...1100 rpms! That is why it should get 17 mpg. I really like the truck and it is alot less than the Fords. I think this will be the way I go.
