Thanks DTR For All You Do

I've been a member for a long time. Sometimes I'm active, sometimes I don't sign on for months. When I need info on my truck I come here to get it.

I just replaced the VP44 after 265K miles (world record I think) and I referred to this site several times searching old posts, using the Tech Facts, and asking questions when I could not find the answer for my situation. The information was right on, helpful, and it saved time and money.

Of all the web sites I post on, this is by far the most civil, informative, and entertaining one around.

Just wanted to say thanks to all of those guys & gals that make DTR what it is, and to all of the members who post here.

Thanks!

Don't mean to hijack your thread Geico.
I just got back from a trip from Saskatchewan into the States as far south as Enid and Tulsa, OK. East to Branson, MO. and back with a few stops inbetween. I turned over 440,000 kms or 273,000 miles. Still the original VP44 (knock on wood).
I still trust the Cummins and the rest of the package, but thoughts still crossed my mind about reliablity before I headed out.
I am not superstitious but I hope my posting doesn't end my good luck.

No problem about changing the subject alittle, no one is in the "thanking DTR mood", except JFlory.

Stan! the clock is ticking on your VP44.......

It is not that hard to change out, better do it now!

Geico, I agree with you. This site is the most informative cummins site that I've come across. I belong to two other sites, one is good for info but has all 3 brands of diesel pick ups on it so not everything is cummins, and the other is a cummins site but isn't as helpful as this one.

DTR has been a good help more than a few times for me with my truck and when working on friends trucks!
