Finally did it

Well guys, after reading on here for a good while y'all finally convinced me to go out and buy my first Dodge truck. Just wanted to say thanks.

Old and busted 6.0 replaced with new hotness 6.7. Let the mods begin.

Engine aside, because Cummins rules, I have had nothing but Ford trucks, and think the trucks are superior to Dodge in every way.

Steering feels tighter, shifting smoother, body panels more solid, frame easier to add accessories to, more standard goodies (finned diff cover, bedrail caps, etc.), more comfortabel seats, on and on and on........

You'll love the Dodge for the engine and exhaust brake. Enjoy.

G56 just sounds so boring and I don't have any good mods to put in my sig, so I had to church it up a little.

I totally agree with you Grodyman. I loved my old truck just really hated the engine. I haven't had the trailer on it yet to see how it does under a load, but probably will after she gets broke in a little.

If you truly wanna be happy with that truck, I'd consider deleting the emissions stuff ASAP or you could end up feeling like a 6.0 owner when the first run of turbos were going bad left and right.

Welcome to the club though! It sure is an expensive one...
