Howdy :<br><br>I've been lookin around the past couple days trying to get aquainted with the Cummins engine. I'm selling my current truck and will be lookin for a 12 valve 3500 5 speed after it sells, so please forgive any stupid comments (I seem to make them a lot) and weird questions I might spit out. My head has been in the PSD zone for a little over a year and that's realy the only personal experiance I have with diesel engines.<br><br>My boss just gave me a 24 valve single cab 2wd 3500 with a flat bed as a work truck, so I'll probably be asking about that too.<br><br>Anyway, I wanted to introduce me. Feel free to call me CT,Central, Texan, Bryan (my real name) or dumb a*&amp;, I answer to almost anything.

 

Welcome CT,aka &quot;Noobie&quot;
We're a good-natured bunch here, weird we're used to. 'Ya outa see some of us.
If'n 'ya got a question....ask away....that's how we learned.
The only dumb question is the one that's not asked.

Welcome to the boards, nice to see another Texan around.

 

CT: Welcome to the site! You will find a wealth of information here, shared by some very knowledgeable guys. I can see why you would be a little fogged up, having spent a year in the PSD zone. We'll be glad to help you recover ;D <br><br>DeWain<br><br>P.S. Watch out for the penguins and sheep! ;D

 

Thanks for the &quot;Welcome&quot;s yall! From lookin around I see there are some 'colorfull characters' around I think I'll fit in just fine

 

Well look who it is over here, glad you are joining in, Hey for once I have more posts than you.<br>Chase

 

Welcome. Where at in central Texas are you from? South Texas here Corpus to be exact. I bought the auto trader yesterday and there were quite a few cummins with the 5 speeds in there. Try to pick it up you will find alot of trucks in your area. Dont go to autotrader.com get the magazine there are many more listings. Let me know if you have any questions and if I or anyone else here can help. Thanks Don<br>

 

Hey Central Texan,<br><br>THere is a 97 Dually, 3500, 4x4 at the Lenz Truck Center, it's an extended cab, long bed and only has 29,000 miles on it. The guys # is 877-777-9139.<br><br>I know nothing about this dealer or the truck. Just that it's available.<br><br>Welcome to the site.<br><br>Gary

 

Hey Chase, What's goin on man! I'll have to work on that post count then wont I? <br><br>Cummins24, I'm in Round Rock right now, but I own some property outside of Harper that I'm trying to move onto.<br>I picked up a Autotrader mag yesterday and found a few trucks at a dealer in San Antonio. Ya know, the adds that say to contact John or Jim Hendricks in SA. Nelson's Auto in Austin always has nice trucks too. Just gotta get my truck sold first.<br><br>Thanks again for the welcomes. Are there any up coming 'get togethers' in Texas?

 

Welcome aboard Central !!! heck you could welcome me aboard I have been gone so long good to be back.<br><br>gotta go, got some reading to catch up on here ;D ;D ;D <br><br>Regards<br><br>BBD

 

Hey bryan AKA neeeewbie, sorry just had to do it to you , I don't know if there is anything around here, maybe you will need to start CTDD. ;D<br>Chase

 

It would be nice to get some get togethers going, but running a club was too much leg work for one guy. Especialy with all the out of town work that I do.<br><br>Hey man, we oughta hook up so I can take your truck for a &quot;test drive&quot;, ya know, make sure I want to swap over to a goat ;D<br><br>Whachya say? Huh Huh Huh! Can I drive her! Can I drive her!?!?!?!? : 8)

 

It's always nice to have another Texan on board. How close are you to Austin? ;D

 

I'm in Round Rock, so that's what, 15-20 miles north? Something like that. Although now you cant tell where Austin ends and Pflugerville starts, or where Pflugerville ends and Round Rock starts. I hate the city, cant wait to get back out to the sticks.
