December Truck of the Month poll - Under the Hood! - Dodge Diesel

wannadiesel · 11-17-2009, 06:21 PM

This month we aren't looking at the outside of the truck, that's just a pretty wrapper. The candy is under the hood, and I think the engine is what we love most about these trucks anyway. So pick the engine bay you like the best. Personally I think there's too many wires in all these pictures...

Truck Of the Month Procedure

* Around the 1st of the month, we will post a thread with the winner for the previous month’s poll in the General Diesel Discussion section of the forums.

* At the same time, we will post a “TOM Candidate” thread in the same forum. In this thread we will announce the category of trucks that will be accepted as possible candidates. (1st Gen 250, 350, 2nd Gen 2500, 3500, 3rd Gen 2500, 3500, MegaCab, etc.)

* If your truck falls into the chosen category for that month and you would like to have a chance to be in the poll, then you can nominate your truck by posting a picture from your gallery in that thread.
* NOTE: The picture MUST come from your Diesel Truck Resource Member Photo Gallery!

(Anything else will be deleted.)

* You can also list some of the mods and accessories on your rig in the same post. Please post only once in that thread. If your truck is not selected for the poll or it is but it doesn't win, you may nominate it again when your category comes back around.

* Previous Winners of the TOM will not be eligible to participate. (Previous Winner being defined as truck and/or DTR Member)

* The “TOM Candidate” thread will be open from around the 1st of the month until around the 14th of the month. That gives you two weeks to submit your truck.

* At this time it will be locked, the three poll candidates will be chosen and the poll will be posted on or around the 15th . The poll will be voted on until the end of the month and we start all over again on the 1st of the next month by posting the winner in one thread and posting the “TOM Candidate” thread for the next month's category.

Select the picture you wish to nominate from your Gallery

Open the picture and click on the "Copy to clipboard" button.

Go to the TOM Candidate thread and click on Post Reply.

Type in your mods and accessories if you like and then right click your mouse and select Paste. The URL address will appear with the IMG tags in place so that the actual picture will show in your post.

Special THANKS to Tim Barber at TRE Diesel Performance for sponsoring the TOM Award plaques!

I like how nobody has voted for #2 and #3.

Duallydog · 11-18-2009, 07:06 AM

Well darn, I didn't make it, I knew it was because I didn't have a current pic with the painted air horn.

But I have to say it makes it a lot easier for me, I would have been torn to vote for me or XLR8R.

Pooter · 11-20-2009, 11:05 PM

Kinda hard to compete with XLR8R's(or spooled05) both very nice rigs

Thanks for the guys that did give me a vote!

pind · 11-20-2009, 11:54 PM

All three are nice units.

I went with pooter on this one. Very clean and simple setup. Nothing busy or screaming "look at me".

Besides, the fancier it is, the harder it is to keep clean. Kudos to those who have the time to clean that much hardware. One day I'll be there too.

Nice engine bays guys.

spooled05 · 11-21-2009, 06:40 PM

My engine compartment is by no means clean but i work my truck everyday and am on dirt roads almost everyday. Thanks for the votes and good luck to everyone!

were you going to see how many times you could win second place Matt?

Go Mike. Check out the dipstick handle.... I think that was the first thing Mike pointed out to me in Albuquerque, NM. when I saw this truck.

The picture does not do Mike's craftsmanship justice.

You need to start a new thread with some details of that bad boy.
