Mine is the Valet 561R!
Brian went with the Valet 57?R with TWO remote aux. inputs (remote start and his high idle box). Both are excellent.
I noticed Curciut City only lists the 561R now??
Whatever you get.... make sure it's manufactured by DEI (several different brand names).
DEI is reasonably prices and by far the best quality..... according to installers.

Thanks Rowland, now I'm going to have to make another meet to get some expertise for installing it.

Ardmore has fun drags on the 10th....... if anyone interested?

A remote start...... a shirt shifter...... and two clutches (maybe)! Sound like a good reason for a working GTG!

Maybe one clutch. It'll take me a lot longer than that to come up with the $$$.

Charlie, if the C & M fund is in dire financial straights, I think we should look at a Fed bail-out... after all, our need is too big to fail.

Just as well! Frees you up for your expertise in supervising.

I have a new Steering Stabilizer (frt. axle shock.... not steering box support) coming. Will probably wait for GTG to install.

Anyone interested...found a great source of knowlegdeable information from Paul Fox (owner) at Defiant Truck Products in Calif. Nice guy and really seems to know Dodge undercarriages. http://defianttruckproducts.com/prod...ODGE&cat_id=29

Ah! Thought that was Charlie's typo....not mine!

A shirt shifter is a retail store employee that moves merchandise around to different racks to make it appear as though new inventory has come in.

A short shifter is a little, iddie...biddie guy driving a big truck!
