The www.DieselTruckResource.com Truck Of the Month committee
(Joel Dieseldude4X4, Dennis RATTLINRAM, and Ed Shovelhead)
is proud to announce our August winner.

Keith Livingstone AKA Rammin On



Keith is not just a member but an invaluable source of info, and a top notch wrench to boot!
One thing we have learned from Keith is that it's usless to wash your truck before attending a Meet&Eat when we caravan (CaraRAM?) to the eatery.
No matter what color your truck starts out, they ALL end up a sooty grey/black 8)....... (We GOTTA start puttin' some of those "fortified" guys in the rear. LOL)

And now a few words from our winner:

Ahhhh, Thankyoo.....thankyooverrrymuch.......woah! Who let Elvis back in the building?

Heeeere's Keith,..............


Thanks!! What an honor!!!!! Can you see me smiling!! Here's the scoop on my truck:

*********************************************

We's like to take this time to remind you that we pick the Truck Of the Month from our own Member's Photos section.
So make our job harder, and post those truck pics.
(maybe then we can ask for a raise)
It doesn't have to be super performance or highly modified truck, just clean and well photographed.
This also applies to our newest members, the Ford and Chevy folks.

 

Keith:

Congratulations on receiving the "DTR Truck of the Month"

Mine will smoke like that... If I try to start off in 4th! Awesome truck, Keith!

 

Keith,

Sweet truck with a lot of nice goodies! The picture is awesome!!!! Lots of smoke! I see you’ve got West Nile well under control for the neighborhood. Congratulations well deserved!

Side question: What are your likes and/or dislikes about the Valentine One? I’ve thought about ponying up for one since my BEL contracted the Microsoft reboot disease :'(.

Keith,
Congrats on the TOM !!! I really like the fact that you have so many miles on that engine even though it is BOMBed. Have fun with your house !!

PISTOL

 

Keith,
Congratulations!
That's a beautiful truck! Looks a lot like mine on the outside, but NOTHING like it under the hood (bummer for me!!!)
That's some impressive smoke, too!

 

Thanks for all the great comments!!! Tis quite an honor to be selected for this ~ and I know there are plenty of trucks out there that out shine mine ...

Snowman - I don't have any dislikes with the Valentine One ... I bought this after John_P and I made a trip out to Missouri last winter ... was great to see it in operation before I aquired mine. This thing has paid for itself ten fold in the past 6 mos I've had it ..

Sweet Truck Keith!!! You might want to check your spark plugs, I don't think it is supposed to smoke like that :P

 

Verrrry nice Keith! Last time I had to endure smoke like that was when I had to stage in the right hand lane at MIR next to **ICEMAN**.
Hope everything is going well in MO.
John

 

We still miss ya man,,,,,,, :'( :
I learned the hard way,,,,, the very first time I met Keith,,,,,,,,, NOT to be on the same side of his truck that the exhaust comes out. I also learned the hard way,,,,,,,, NOT to have your windows rolled down when trying to follow him in city traffic!
Hope all is well and let me know when you have the RV sites finished,,,,,,,,, I'll take one with full hook-ups and shade trees on both sides, please. ;D

 

[move]Congrats on the Truck of the Month award[/move] Maybe one day my 95 will grow up to be like yours ...But with a 5 speed 8) .....Thanks for showing the folks down here what an old 12 valve could do.... Blew that drugged up Ford away.

 

Cool truck

 

CONGRATS!

I've seen smoke like that before,, but, it was from an old Minivan,, Don't know what happened, but it was engulfed in flames.

Why would you want your truck to smoke like that anyway ?? ;D ;D ;D ;D

Congrats.
