Standard cabs are cool.

It also has a V10, so it will pass everything but a gas station

Another gauge question

Hey guys
Now that I have Smarty Jr., which is very cool, all I need @ #1-40hp,#2-70hp,#3-100hp for mileage and towing. Got my tire size updated, this thing really cranks even on #1 especially over 2500!!

Going to install 3 gauges in the console pod: Autometer EGT, Boost Press 0-35and fuel press 0-30. Or is there something else I need?
Question is are these ranges ok? I don't plan on going higher with the engine, injectors or turbo. although Jr does boost fool also.

DOH! I swear I was searching "Diesel" when that came up! I poke around Craigslist looking for TDI's every once in a while. After reading the entire ad, I see why, he says something about the noise of a diesel. What noise is he referring to?

No wonder it was priced that way.

Thanks for all of the condolences, and thanks Scott for picking me up and dropping me off.

very true, on a trip from baltimore to ohio with an empty 14' vnose trailer it took a triton v-10 3 tanks of gas getting on average 8mpg and as low as 5-6 up mountains to get out there. coming back i had the same trailer LOADED as well as the bed of my truck loaded and made it all the way home on one tank and didnt even have to slow down for mountains. After that trip the other driver admitted if he was able to go back when he bought his truck he would get a diesel.... i hope he would change the brand too.

Anyone interested the wife and I are throwing a New Year's Eve party at the house. It is a kid friendly atmosphere - the basics: barley pops and food, etc.. probably not wild enough for you young bucks, but any of the mature folks interested, just RSVP.

I also got a dining room suite to give away - putting it in the classifieds. If it doesn't go, I'll be looking to donate it to Scotte's fire pit

I just saw Ernie standing out in the snow at the toll plaza directing trucks up here. I know I have a boring career and all, but I'm sure glad I am in the office now, warm and toasty!!

His DTR member spotting capabilities are second to none though, knew who I was just by the truck before I had even rolled the window down to yell at him!

Scott, I can come take a look at it. I have been known to dabble in fixing stuff.

I thought most of the pieces on those things are replaceable either way...they are pretty serviceable from my understanding.

This snow should be fun, everyone who hates it is already at work. I haven't put my cinder blocks in the back of my truck this year yet either...weeeee!!!
