March TOM poll - Brand Spankin' New!

This month we have three brand new 2010 Dodges powered by Cummins. They look pretty, don't they? Bet they still have that new-truck smell...

My job was easy this month. Only three nominees so everybody made the poll. Now you have to make the hard choice and pick one.

Truck Of the Month Procedure

* Around the 1st of the month, we will post a thread with the winner for the previous 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. 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 around the 1st of the month until around 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 and the poll will be posted on or around 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!

          I'm trying to talk him into the deletes.

          I think as soon as Marco cracks the bootloader he's gonna break. He did just drop a few grand on the leveling kit and rims and tires and I can say this. The pics do it NO justice. It looks awesome!

          I smell a Smarty a comin.....


          Hey Worm, I actually just talked with Stefano (email) the other day. They are gonna take a look at a TPMS disable feature for the Smarty. He also said that they just got a 2010 test truck and are working on an S67 for it....

          Id say some deletes and a set of stacks on that thing would be just about right

          Yeah, we've been using my friends truck as a guinea pig too. It's worked out very well in his favor too. Got the knowledge on deleting EPA stuff and he got better MPG from it.

          thats what i am looking forward too is the extra fuel economy. with the new tires i am marking about 14 on the trip to the ship and before the tires i was 16 mpg. but my speedo is about 8 mph off at 72 i am going 80 according to my gps.
