I just bought a 94 Dodge 3500 CTD, 4x4, reg cab, 108000 miles, camper top. This is my first diesel, and man am I happy. Ive always wanted one, and found this one on Craigs List. Im in Murfreesboro, TN, but the truck is from Wisconsin, so it has a bit of the ole Michigan Lace (rust) on her. I plan to get her in better shape tho. Just wanted to say hey, and I hope I can learn a lot here.

Congrats on the truck and welcome to DTR, the best diesel site around. You in for a fun time, the guys here are the best. When something comes up don't be afraid to ask for help or give advice.

 

Just beware their is no known cure for 12 valve fever Enjoy the new truck!!

 

Hi and welcome and congrats on you're truck!

 

Get ready to watch your money go bye-bye. Try to get up with the boys down there in Tennessee, I can't remember the chapter number but look it up. Also if you can find him, the guy who turned me on to diesel power was Mark Harris and does a few upgrades in the area over in Bethpage. Good luck on the truck.

 

Congrats on your CTD, and welcome to the site. Lots of great people and information here.

 

thanks a lot guys! Im such a newb to this diesel stuff...I found myself totally confused on some of the mods like fuel plates and APR mods, etc, which I have no idea about...ha. The search button will probably get a workout for the first little while here...thank you guys for the welcomes, and I cant wait for the money to start disappearing...ha.

 

also, what's the deal with the 12v??? Is it just a certain niche that people like, or is there really something special about it?

 

Congrats!!!!!

12v > *.



I think the thing about the 12v is its pure simplicity and the insane amount of power that it can make and still be a daily-driveable truck.

 

No computer and cheap power I LOVE IT
