Is the guy that built this on Hotboat??

I think I've seen it on there, and it's pretty sweet I think.

As to expensive Rhinos, you must have never seen hotboat/performanceboat.com as those guys on the west coast have some rediculous sand toys.:eek:

It has the 5.9 Cummins and the 5speed Allison auto not exactly a combination to fetch decent prices

You have to be joking. That's the best powertrain for any truck including this one.

DaBank you know the truck. Why are you even hesitating?? If I had the money I would be in contact with the seller as I type this.

I have driven this truck alot and it has huge power....it hauls ass. It has RBP ex and also the RBP inj. chip and the upgrade computer. I thought the Cummins ISB 260 and the Allison 2500 are a good combo? It also has a Dana Spicer 17,500 rear axle with a 4.88 gear ratio.

Any idea on fuel mileage?

DaBank 10-04-2008 01:35 PM

14 to 16mpg unload and the lowest he ever got was 8mpg average on a full tank towing a 40ft trailer with two f650 to a show.

Well I do agree the 6 speed Allison would have been a better choice.
