LOL. I don't know why she can't handle my truck. She handled my 08 just fine. The engine just intimidates her for some reason. She can handle the QC just fine as well since that is what she drove for a couple years when I had my Jeep. Now, it is back to the whole diesel thing. She can be funny. She is seriously intrigued by the way a diesel runs which is what sparked her interest for classes. And the fact I get better MPG out of a vehicle that weights oh I don't know at least 2K lbs more than her Aspen is also why she wants to trade for a diesel.

We originally traded the 02 in for the 08 MC because we both got tired of getting kicked in the back when our first two were still in car seats (they HATED traveling--that was their way of making us pay for it). Now we just have one in a forward facing car seat. Put him in the middle and there would be no problems.

I recall her mentioning something about the classes starting in the fall and they want you to take them in a set order. So she may not be able to start until next year. When she gets back she is going to check on it again to see if she can start on any course this year.

Cummins

Wow everyone is loving the 06. I wish I could say that, 3 rd set of ball joints, blend door booken again, rusted through above both rear wheels, both front wheel hubs, tranny (48re) shot around 40k (with light towing) drag link, tie rod ends, muffler rusted thru at 50k. Umm what did I miss??

I would be very carefull buying a uesd Dodge, now the Cummins has been bomb proof, 87k and not one issue with the motor.

If they would put that motor in a Ford, I would have 2 of them....
