Not sure what's going on with that company, but I haven't gotten a single response to any of my emails. Not even to the most recent one asking about an update on my order. I ordered it back on August 25th and still haven't heard/received anything. Their site says that there is a 10 day lead time on their orders, but it has been way past that. What are some of your experiences, people?

I would love to have a truck just like that someday for our farm. We have an old f250 now but its seen better days. I'm trying to convince my father to get a 94+ cummins for a farm truck, choir runner.

Although it will be a farm truck it will be more than just that too. Make runs to the dump, going hunting, home depot, ect. ect.

My HVAC professor has a 74 1 ton with a 440. It's got a nice mild cam too. He rebuilt it in '97 and it's sweet truck.

I bet that thing will move but only pass every other gas station lol. I need a work truck something that I can abuse and scratch and not care thats what I loved about this truck it was painted with a 28.00 gal can of tractor implement paint. Still looked pretty good but she was getting on average of 8 mpg but man she did take the abuse plowed over a few small trees with that bumper and pushed mud with it too.

BTW, it took a little over 2 months for me to finally receive my controller. I am finally going to be installing everything now that I have a break from work.

I did some reading that suggested that the on/off switch wasn't optimal due to its spike in load on the electrical system. Also, what if you forgot to flip it on. You're not going to be perfect all of the time.
