CTD commeraderie??

Does anyone else have a CTD commeraderie in thier town? I pass by other CTD'ers and get a wave just about every time.. got a wave today from a guy in a 2wd reg cab first gen CTD, as I was driving by in my CTD600/QC/LWB/4x4.. It was just COOL.

I used to get a lot of waves from fellow CTDers when I first got my trucks in '95. Now there is so many of them in my area that no one pays much mind to it.

Here in Idaho there are more Dodge CTD than Ford (PowerPukes) or DuraMax...

So you would be waving all day long...!!!!

Thank you! Great White for the comment!

It seems that all the big industry out here is using Dodge / Cummins or Just Cummins!

From semi-trucks, to log skidders, to just good ol' Dodge's! Like I said you could be waving all day long!

Funny side, A mech. told me if I left my truck for about 2 hours he could snag my Cummins out of my truck and put it in a log skidder...!!!!

The best part is the skidder was running a 24V Cummins ISB and blew it trying pull too many logs... Opps...

well... I work in Dearborn and Ford pretty much owns all commercial property in the city.. so you can guess what I see all day...

DieselJunkie - that always cracks me up seeing the super lifted trucks w/ huge tires... I bet 95% of 'em never see anything but the highway...

When I first started looking at CTDs I went into a dealer who claimed to be the largest in the Los Angeles area. They didn't have even one CTD to sell, salesman said no one wanted one because they're too loud and stink.

I pulled up to a red light in my three stop light Montana town a while back.
There were six CTDs waiting for the light and three more went though the green.
Would have hated to have been a pedestrian in that intersection.
Think it might have something to do with farmers and red fuel...

Must be nice to have that many CTD's around.. Ive got pretty much the only one around in my town with the exception of my neibors... everyone else drives gassers, but I must say, my town is filled with gasser dodges, so at least they are getting the brand right My dad drives an 04 Dakota with the 4.7 mated to a 5 spd.. its a fun truck to drive, but mines more fun My neighbor has a ram 1500 with about 4" of lift and 35's on it with a 5.9 V8, and thats just on my street.. But I have to say, the neighbors on the other side of my parents house own two CTD's, a 12V and 24V, as well as a Dmax...
