Re:Picture of the White Ghost
Boss Hog, among the advantages of living in Florida, I recall are Las Cucharachas. So big, if your wheels break down, you hitch up a couple and they tow you in. 
<br><br>Been there once, Dade Co. in July. At 1:00 a.m. 95 degrees and 98% humidity. That was the coolest during the entire week. Never got above 102 degrees.

Yu is a bad boy, Phil. Do I detect a little bit of jealousy on your part talking about our Florida pets? We call them thingys alligator bait. ;D<br><br>And, highest I ever remember in Sarasota was about 97. Nice and warm - - keeps the pool warm for swimming. Sure beats 112 in the San Joaquin valley. 
That is no fun sitting on a Cat trying to run a straight line down a field when the field keeps moving from the heat - - or from "another" earth quake. <br><br>Bob

Those Florida Pets would crawl under the locked door and try to carry off anything loose. Took my wallet to bed with me. I was afraid they would carry it off at night.<br><br>The heat I can deal with. The 98% humidity I can't. Your body is constantly dripping with persperation. ???

Fiver Bob<br>Very nice ride, just what I am waiting on down to the color. If DC would get the auto I am there. Been waiting this long little bit longer will not matter. <br>The down side is this, went looking at fords last month and bought the wife a new expedition. Well that will teach dodge not to keep us waiting.

Re:Picture of the White Ghost
Hi Honker, and welcome to our chit chat and sharing place. <br><br>Ford seems to have a good one coming up. Early indications are it will outpull ours. How far is another story. It still will not drive and ride like the new 2 wheel drive (have not driven a 4 x 4). Wow, it is almost too nice for a picumup truck. 8) Sticks like glue on the road. But, the difference in pull is so small now between the three I would not hesitate on any of the them if that were the only criteria. My new Dodge just rides better and drives better than the others. I drove them all a bunch of times and took over a year to make up my mind. I think I made a good choice.<br><br>Bob

Re:Picture of the White Ghost
Fiver & Honker, This new 4x2 Ram is super great in the mountains on the curvey roads. Just wait till you are in the real mountains out west. I don't think anything out there can beat the handling, ride, and overall quality.

Thanks, FDF, I am really enjoying it. If you have to drive a big truck, might as well get the best ride and drive you can. Like Sierra says, the handling is really quite outstanding. You do not feel like this is a "big" one ton dually. I think we have one fine truck.
I noted it was -16 in Lansing, Mich yesterday. It was 76 here and 80 today. I remember that stuff like -46 in Minnesota. Nope, no more. I will take a little "southern shower" in the summer to enjoy heaven the other nine months.

Bob,I'll be getting a 4wd,probably a dually,cause I've always wanted the "Big Rig",but couldn't afford it in 99.Will sacrifice some of the smoothness for the 4wd,but I gotta have it up here in the mountains of western Md.It looks like we are going to get 8-12 inches of the white stuff tonight.Maybe I'll mail you some

I don't need the gooseneck. My fiver weighs right at 16000# when ready to hit the road. Hidden Hitch has a gooseneck setup, but mine is not "either/or". Of course, we don't mention any other gooseneck hitch around here other than B&D or a certain member will come thru the wires and strip your hard drive and scratch mean little slogans in your monitor.
