Just picked her up tonight its a 2001 dodge 2500 with the 24 valve cummins diesel 6 speed tranny and every option u can get in a dodge plus an exhuast break. its pretty much stock but i think the previouse owner had chipped the truck because it hauls ass for being a big ass truck. anywho thats my new toy shes gettin exhaust, intake, and some other doodads when i sell the wagon.

    ya its getting about 18-20mpg im hoping with the intake, exhaust, programmer, and a gentle foot to get it up to 22-24mpg's which is possible just gotta be nice to it. I need to get in contact with the previouse owner because i swear its got some sort of performance program loaded into it because it pulls hard.

    BTW i will still be hanging out on the site even after my wagons gone to many cool, inteligent, and just fun people on here. i think in all the forums ive ever been a part of HCW is by far the highest quality of them all.

    2 more pics check out all the dam snow we have even more its dumped here the last 2 days and its suposed to snow more..... BTW ive orderd up some straight 4 inch exhaust no muff with a 5" tip should sound like a semi truck next week. this week im putting putting the 2" leveling kit on along with shocks, 2 tie rods, track bar, and putting it on the rack so it should be lookin tuff by this weekend and driving a lot better. its nice getting suspension parts for dirt.

    already in the works im lifting it about 2 inches in the front very soon and in a month or so it will get 35" tires.

    im not a big fan of skuyacker lifts unless its for something late 80's or older. all these newer trucks all most all have coil springs in the front and i just dont like the way compamies like them and even rancho build lift kits. u would have to see them all side by side to understand but companys like fabtech and tuff country make nicely built very moddernized lift kits. i drove a truck like mine today and it had the 6" fab tech lift on it but im keepin it simple more lift just means more money.

    I rebuilt the front end tonight and put new shocks in along with the 2" spacers it drives so much better no more wondering....
