New to the site, Just saying Hey

been lurking for a few months. Reading everything I can to make the decision to go to diesel or not and I finally did. Everyone here seems to swear by them and the Dodge Cummins seems to be the one to beat, and the name has stuck with the truck longer than fords powerstroke or chevy's multiple diesels i figured dodge must know something.

Picked up a 2001, 2500 Cummins/auto 4x4, with every option i think available and im just LOVING it... She has 134k on her and you would never know that if you drove it.

so just saying hey and posting a pic of my new pride and joy and my first Diesel... you'll be see'ing me around here for a long while im sure

Welcome to DieselTruckResource.com.

Clean looking ride.

It's not just a truck.
It's an obsession.......

Kick yer shoes off, prop yer feet up, and stick around a spell......

Nice truck Kingofthehill, just be careful how you refer to your truck in your signature had an amusing incident which now accounts for my new sig. How do you like the sensation when idling along, I think it feels and sounds greeeeaaaatttttt! Needless to say welcome and enjoy the ride. Really like the colour, yours is the best colour according to this Frenchman for unlike black, "Champagne" appears clean when it really isn't. Whenever next paint job comes around (come on U308).

"yu get watch ya can" when it comes to a CTD, would never have bought a dealer black truck unless the price would have been TGTBT.

Cheers, "est tabernac ma biere est vide, oh' Cheri"
No officer I am not a new CTD owner



words of caution
be careful, the smilies will get you!!

thanks for the reply's...

i just got the tires... their 315/75/16's... at LOCK to LOCK they rub oh so slightly... either have to get some wheel spacers (dont want to go that route) or get a new set of rims... i wanted rims anyways

its a good height though... happy with the bigger tires,
