JUST KIDDING everyone...that comment was directed really towards Jay and Dock. I know how you guys love your Fords and Dodges.

Behind Dodge - Probably (Down Hill)
Behind the Almighty 7.3 PSD = All Day Long until we put some boost to that turbo and hit 130!
Hey, on a serious note I did a lot of upgrades including exhaust, intake, boost regulator, DP Tuner, Gauges, etc, etc and she is SO much better then stock it ain't even funny.
Better watch out if you see me in your rear view mirror.

I didn't have to do all the upgrades to the Cummins----it ran just fine when I got it--so I did the upgrades anyway. Damn those Chevy's and Fords look good behind me
I am however a little worried about this new diesel fuel--for the first time Dodge is recommending that you put additive in your fuel because I guess with less sulphur you get less lubricity and that might be a problem for the lift pump and the injector pump. No one seems to know for sure yet so they are recommending an additive until they get a little more experience with the new fuel--at least thats what I have been told.
THANKS to everyone about the nice comments about our new boat--I'm sure we'll enjoy it. Still working on the pictures.

Still haven't picked up the boat for possession yet--I was checking the trailer and found it had drum brakes instead of disc and had leaf springs instead of torsion axles. They are checking on upgrading the trailer. Also having a 12v plug installed in the cabin so we can recharge cell phones and GPS etc. Also putting the tuner in the radio so we can have Sirsis. Also installing prop locks and am going to order a couple of drive showers---damn does it ever end
I'm beginning to think that when Tommie gives Dock permission to sell the 36 I should have waited and bought it.

I know we are the exception in the number of miles we trailer, but there is a lot more to consider then price.
Support of the Hull, Safety, Durability, ease of launching and loading and Trouble Free just to mention a few.
I am sold on torsion axles and disc brakes. Glad you are upgrading.

No 98mph limiter here. My Predator programmer removed that and then my Edge/Attitude harness box adds all the power I need. I know what you mean though, I've done basically all the mods you have (no boost regulator) and the truck is totally different than a stocker. I won't have to watch for you in my rear mirror because all I'll be able to see is a cloud of black smoke as I pull away!
Just messing with you dock,

Oh, brother here we go again. I can't say much now though. This is the first time I have been without a diesel in years.

I can't afford all this new fancy diesel stuff!! However, I do have an "old school" suburban that will give you guys a run for your money!!!!
At least from gas station to gas station!!!!!
