I may have changed my mind, they sweetened the deal some more. It is $5k plus cheaper than a comparable duramax truck. I'm going to pick it up sat. and test drive it till mon. too see how I like it.

I can't believe somebody hasn't bought that truck already. Congrats on your new truck!

[I know you're gonna buy it! ]

Cummins is the only real diesel out there !! Here is pic of my 15 year old 350 HP 750 FT 12 Valve

Beautiful truck and that hood looks like it should have been OEM off the line. But 350/750??? C'mon dude that motor's not even breathing hard. Almost all the drag trucks and rails run 12 valves. 1200+hp is very common for the 12 valve.

Well it is not a drag truck , just a 2 wd hunk of **** to pull my Skater . Hey stock it only had 185 HP 300 Tq or something like that . The truck as it is right now I have a grand total of 4500 . Here is a pic when I bought it on Craigslist 1 year ago for 1500 . I boughtan 2004 hood from Rumble bee from Craigslist for 75.00 and installed scooop and made it true ram-air . Right now installing new HP trans and converter . For sure not the fastest but it beats much out there

LOL gotta love that BHAF! That long bed makes the truck look right, I don't like short beds.

Yeah the 12 valve was not very powerful stock. Mine is 325/610 stock. There's a guy from Utah with an 06 he set his up for sled pulling. Last I heard he had 1300hp and he guesstimates 2400-2500tq because he can't find a dyno that can give the right numbers. I think he's running a full billet NV4500 tranny.

My truck is a 2006 white quad cab dually. Basically stock except for a Fluidampr, True Flow air filter system and FilterMag on the oil filter.

I will admit always hated long bed and loved short bed but this truck has grown on me . The higher a long bed goes the better they look . I'm kicking around making the truck even more custom by removing 10 inch of bed behind rear wheels . I have rendering and it is bad ass and will be one of a kind , I'm aware of what a 12 valve is capable of but I feel current level is well strong enough and reliable and still gets 22 on highway . Looking for better MPG with new converter

If you take 10" off you're gonna need to move those decals right? I like the honeycomb grills and that emblem but I must say I'm partial to the big Ram sitting up there like the old Jaguar statues.

I have that big ram emblem , you can mount it on your next boat !! I will not modify this bed , rather buy another
