New Guy To the Site and To the World of Diesels

Just wanted to say Hi and introduce myself. I already recognize some people from over on pavementsucks.com.

I'm new to this whole diesel thing, just picked up an 04 Ram QC 4x4 with the Cummins and a 6-spd manual trans. Looking forward to playing with it a little.

Hey, welcome to the site. Some neat people on board - - some others we probably better not mention since you are soooo new. You will love that new toy.

Why don't you fill in your member specs so we can remember what you drive when you post.

What do you do at Fort Hood?

There are some good Cummins folks around that area.

The Cummins is actually for my wife to get back and forth to work in. She works a lot farther away than I do and the Cummins gets about twice the milage our Dodge Gasser gets

Hey Chinookece..nice to have you with us watch out for Hoss he will talk you into a concrete bedliner before you know what hit ya

You know who flys a Red, White and Blue Chinook? I had one circle my mountain top half a dozen times last Saturday. It finally moved off so I was able to put the Barrett back in the safe

But I am rather curious who it was. That things too expensive for a joy ride.
