Glad to have you guys with us

 

Our southern cousins!
Now get started posting!

 

Wow we marylanders are growing.

 

You know it. Here are an insane amount of diesel guys down here.

 

You know it. There are a lot of diesel guys down here! Just gotta find em.

 

Just moved to MD from VA... trying to figure out the difference between #33 and #49... help?

 

It depends on your location.
Are you in Southern MD or central?

 

Baltimore City

 

Well then Chapter #33 is closer. Lots of Baltimore county, Harford county members.
I guess we all need to get together and have a wrenchin day. It's been a while since the last one.

 

I'm in Hollywood. New diesel owner of a not-so new diesel (04.5 2500). Not made of money so my mods will come slow but sure. Next mod is to get some decent rubber on my truck - under bad advice got some stock sized 265/70 17R Rugged Trail T/A's. Found out they don't do squat in snow and they wear REAL fast (10 months and I'm down to 1/2 original tread depth). Will level it and put some 35's on the stock rims. Any advice (looking at Cooper Discoverer ST)?

 

Hummer take off's look really great on a 3rd gen truck. Little bit of machine work and the fit right on. Just did a set for a co worker.

 

well, its newer then my 99 LOL I am actually getting ready to get new tires to. i have to buy 6 though :-( i havent decided yet but the bfgoodrich mud terrains ta km2 looks pretty good. saw a review that a guy with a dually had them and they lasted well.
as far as mods. i have done a couple. it does seem that with a low budget the dodges are the best bang for your buck. easier to work on etc... i went with a edge juice with attitude monitor, airdog 2 fuel system. 4"exhaust from hog performance. there is a good mechanic that does diesel performance on the side. called holly rock customs. in hollywood. little slow to get stuff done sometimes though.

 

i had my tranny rebuilt last winter and it already is starting to vibrate a little in the low end when pushing go pedal.. especially when haulling fifth wheel camper.

i guess its the torque converter.

 

Looks like stock rims are out (silly rabbit, 35's don't fit on 7.5 inch rims). Just have to wait a bit longer to get $ for rims. Looking for something to get me up and down the private road I live at the end of (complete with a short but steep hill) whenever the snow dumps again. Will 35's fit without leveling kit? I've heard leveling kits can mess with sway bars/etc and not knowing much about suspensions or what is needed to make sure DW doesn't surface I may not use leveling kit....

 

35x12.50s will work on 7.5 rims...
