I have always suspected that he has just a little too much free time on his hands....
Naa Country Doc. he has a LOT of excess free time on his hands LOL.


How do you like your dually now that you have had it a little while?
I love it. I am amazed how easily and smoothly it tows, and how FAST it is for such a big beast. I put a about 500 lbs of balast in the back for the winter, and it handles much better than it did when empty, and doesn't seem to be any slower. I may have to eat some of my words about how the RWD can go anywhere I need it to...this morning with 5 inches of fresh light snow over ice, I couldn't get it up and out of my driveway. Almost took out the garage as the rear drifted sideways while the back wheels were spinning. Still, though, no regrets.
I am really looking forward to the opportunity to take it on some long hauls with the camper when spring comes.

I was looking at the head and exhaust route. most turbo'd DD v6's dump the exhaust up to the turbo through the middle of the header, turbo'd DD v8's usualy route through to the front of the engine. I know they probably exist, but I havent seen a 6v92. Ive seen plenty of 6v71's and 53's.
