RE: Diesel Rollcall...
I looked at a megacab the day that I bought mine, but I decided against it. It's got alot more room behind the back seat, but I just couldn't get past the look. Its kinda like when I bought my 2003 Chevy, it was the first year for the new front ends, it took me a while to get over the new look, but it grew on me. In a couple of yrs I'll probably be wishing I bought a megacab,,,,, of course I did save about 4g's by buying the quadcab. The sacrifices we make, lol, oh well.

Real name: Brian
Location: Central California - surrounded by ag and dairies, and dust on the truck every day
Truck: '06 Quad 4x4 Regular Cab Long Bed, 2500 Laramie (w/ sunroof that rarely is opened due to the dust!)
Added: Sky Jacker 4" lift, with 35's on 20-inch rims (which rubbed on Dodge OEM molded flaps which then had to be cut down...), and Line-X over the rail. Also have receiver hitch under bumper up front with provisions to connect to tow bar (love Dodge's E Transfer case that can be put in neutral and towed four wheels down!).
Intend to: Keep reading Forum for ideas to steal...happy with performance so not likely to do programmer...but other ideas?

Names John. ( max is my retired greyhound, 39 was hull number of my ship from the Navy days, and generally recurring lucky number).
I live in Tarpon Springs, Florida with my wife and two kids.
Truck has some dents and dings, closing in on 200k miles, and a really really bad sound system -- Man I love this thiing.
It has a lifetime warrantee: When it breaks, I have to fix it myself or die, whichever comes first.
Recent "Enhancements" :
Rebuilt the Starter Solonoid.
Replaced MAP Sensor -- HUGE improvement.
Replaced stock Lift Pump....short term solution..
Upcoming:
Fuel Pressure ( gotta have) and Boost Gauge ( Conversation piece).
Valve Lash Adjustment.
Brakes.
I *might* take a walk on the wild side and remove the silencer ring.

The family farm is located at 60°49'0.65"N 12° 5'22.00"E close to the Swedish boarder.
04.5 QC 4X4 DRW Patriot Blue Pearl Coat
6 Speed
The only mod is a Westech Boost/EGT gauge in the A-Pillar.
All the other items are cosmetic,
Tonneau cover
Window tinting
Mudflaps
Wheel to wheel bar
Line-X over the rail
Future additions will be wiring in a 7-pin on the bed for a 5th Wheel, B&W turnover hitch with 5th wheel companion, and an e-brake. The truck was bought for the purpose of towing a 5th wheel. Gettin closer, only 7 more payments then time to buy the trailer.[sm=bounceybounce.gif]
