Okay okay....bring tha noise!

Alright, to all those that know me on this site, I gone done it again. The black 3500 is gone. Gone to it's happy new owner. All in the name of getting some cushion at the end of the month $$$. Well, I thought, why not just go older and get a 5.9 with the 48RE? Heck I know the best tranny guy around... cough, Phil, cough. I can get the best pricing on the hop up goodie stuff here in our DTR store... cough, Lary, cough. Sure, I found a bunch of these type trucks around and all priced somewhere in the high teens to the low twenties. Wow, gotta love a Dodge for holding it's value. So I keep looking and voila, what to my wandering eyes does appear, but a 2007 2500 2WD 6.7 MANVAN sitting at a Honda dealer in the mountains of Tennessee for around $23k oddy oddy oddy. Really? So I look into this thing. Only 18k on the odometer and already fitted with 5th wheel rails. HMMMMM. So a few phone calls and look at me, heading to the hills tomorrow to go get my MANVAN. So go ahead all in fun of course and let me have it for all the ribbing I gave to all my family members on here about their MANVANs. Yes, it was denial blah blah blah.

AND AN EXTRA EXTRA SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO THE ONE THAT ALL IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF......THE ONE THE ONLY MMMMMAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDHHHHHHAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT!!!! !!!!!!

UHHHHHH.....no I became such a big fan of the 6.7 with deletes I actually advised the new owner to keep it with them or else he wouldn't be as pleased with the 6.7 and might not like me. He is local so I told to keep in touch until he was completely comfortable with everything. I'll have to call Lary next week. I know he has the address. Might even read about the Jr ME a little. My buddy Phil got the flanges made for delete pipes so that's for sure.

Thats cool of you. Sure he will be much happier with the deletes in place.

This time go engine deletes too. Youll be even happier.



That was one of my favorite shows growing up. Heck still is.

Thanks... I was kinda upset I lost my 6.7 mentor.


And trust me, MANVAN stigma or not, your gonna love the backseat of that mega.


Maybe we should start a MVA club (ManVan Anonymous)
