CONGRATULATIONS goes out to 5.9Excursion!





Congratulations to all of you who have these truly unique rides. There's a bunch of us here that would love to have any one of then sitting in the driveway. As we stated before, the Conversion category is one that will come up again. So continue to watch the General Diesel Discussion section for the next time it comes up in the TOM poll.

**********************************************
Truck Of the Month Procedure for 2008

The DTR TOM Staff has come up with a new procedure for choosing the TOM candidates.

* Starting Dec. 1st, 2007, we will post a thread with the winner for this month’s poll in the General Diesel Discussion section of the forums.

* At the same time, we will post a “TOM Candidate” thread in the same forum. In this thread we will announce the category of trucks that will be accepted as possible candidates. (1st Gen 250, 350, 2nd Gen 2500, 3500, 3rd Gen 2500, 3500, MegaCab, etc.)

* If your truck falls into the chosen category for that month and you would like to have a chance to be in the poll, then you can nominate your truck by posting a picture from your gallery in that thread.
* NOTE: The picture MUST come from your Diesel Truck Resource Member Photo Gallery! (Anything else will be deleted.)

* You can also list some of the mods and accessories on your rig in the same post. Please post only once in that thread because the TOM committee will select three trucks from that thread to be in the poll. The process for selecting the three candidates from this thread will be completely at random. If your truck is not selected for the poll or it is but it doesn't win, you may nominate it again when your category comes back around.

* Previous Winners of the TOM will not be eligible to participate. (Previous Winner being defined as truck and/or DTR Member)

* The “TOM Candidate” thread will be open from the 1st of the month until the 14th of the month. That gives you two weeks to submit your truck.

* At this time it will be locked, the three poll candidates will be chosen at random and the poll will be posted on the 15th . The poll will be voted on until the end of the month and we start all over again on the 1st of the next month by posting the winner in one thread and posting the “TOM Candidate” thread for the next month's category.

Special THANKS to Tim Barber at TRE Diesel Performance for sponsoring the TOM Award plaques!

Good job 5.9 your wife's got one cool grocery getter

 

congrats have you had the chance to dyno or run your excursion in the quarter? wonder what kind of numbers it would put down...

 

Congrats, a fine truck and great coverage on the swap.

 

That's pretty nice. I bet the cummins works well in that beast! Congrats!

 

Cool...

Thanks to everyone who voted...

When I get the last issues figured out, I will have to head down to Floor-It Diesel and have John put it on the dyno.

I've got a G-tech somewhere, that would give me a ballpark idea on the 1/4 mile times.

 

Congrats 5.9!! Awesome conversion and awesome kid hauler/grocery getter!
