Default Saying good bye to my Cummins Sad day

Well the time has come to say goodbye to my 2003 HORam 3500
and its killing me!! I have to go with the 2008 F450 for legal reasons (Um 1 is over hauling by 10,000 pounds)

I have been towng 26000 pounds with it and I cant begin to tell you how many heads
I have turned. If you know the 2003 HOit was only allowed to be sold in a few states due to its emmisions. This is a towing beast!! That I am going to miss!!

Appalachian mountains?? who cares!! lol get those Fords out of my way willya!! (Not the new ones I know but in 20034,5,6 we spanked Ford big time!!) I used to get the Big Rig guys calling me on my CB sayng "Hey NEw Hampshire guy... are you kidding me whats under that hood!!"

OK I am done ranting .... this is killing me

I will be putting it on Ebay so if anyone is intersted email me at steve@masthill.comand I will email you when its listed.

Quick specs

2003 High output automatic
Approx 60K Miles
Extended warranty
TripleDog Chip (Amazing!!!)
BD Exaust Brake (2400 installed)
S&B Air Filter
56 Gallons Fuel tank replacing the 32 it came with
Brand New Tires
Brand New Complete front end joints steerinbox you name it!
And!! Brand New Dodge Replacing as we speak Transmission!

This is a sad day!! I just wish Dodge had something to do th 25K towing range.

As great as this F450 seems and as Beautiful as it is AND IT IS!! I wish I was still aCummins Ram guy!

Steven

Not feeling the love here No sympaty either waaa

Look whats Ram guy to do? My horse trailer is 26,000 pounds loaded

My lawyer has shown me case after case over over towing law suits and I am way over!! 10K over!!

I have to much to lose! I was even willing to risk another year but all my inside connections at Dodge say their is nothing on the board for that level of towing for the Ram

No WAY I'd trade my CTD on a PowerJoke. Why not a 4500 or 5500 CTD Cab & Chasis?
