Well guys.....The dually got traded in on an International 4700 Dump Truck yesterday.....
I'm not sure if I'm happy or not??? I was very very frustrated trying to figure out why it was such a dog?
Anyway...I just wanted to say "THANKS" to all of you for your insight and helpful information!!! I'll be lurking occasionally...
I have inherited a 99 Dodge 2500 gasser......So I have to now find a Dodge gasser forum to visit..
Thanks Again!!!!
Todd

 

Just because you don't have a CTD now don't mean you can't visit here you know. Try going to www.dtwtrucks.com for some forums for the gassers.

Well, I'm sure the cornbinder isn't a rocketship either. Which motor did you get, the 466 or the 530?

 

We got a DT466 with a 6 speed.....It's no dragster either but tows the New Holland 965 skid steer much better.

 

Good choice. At work we have an '85 S1900, DT466/5 speed with over 300k on it, all those miles are local P&D work loaded heavy. The thing's been abused so hard it almost makes you weep. In the 5 years I've been with the company this truck's had 2 rears, 2 clutches, and 3 transmissions. Motor smokes blue when it's cold, but it still pulls just fine. I think it's going off to the big cornfield in the sky soon, though - the right front cab mount has rusted away and it's only a matter of time before the cab twists.
