i had to look all over the state of tx to find a quad cab long bed with a cummins & 6 speed, single rear wheel. apparently there wasnt too many of them made. i bought it used with 114k miles on it. awesome truck. will never go back to gas powered trucks look around there are a few good deals to be had ( if you want an auto )

I spent quite a bit of time looking for a good used tow rig just to have the wife nix it. It had something to do with not being able to afford anything greater than $10k and my wanting something along the lines of $25k. I don't know what she was talking about though, I mean, I could have lived off of ramen and mac'n'cheese for 5 years ... sheesh! |

my son had one of those (automatic though) - he loved it - changed jobs - couldn't afford it anymore - now he's got a Ford They're great trucks - and diesel is better (try some Bio-Wille - makes it smell different) FYI - did you find gmctd over in the CRD forum? - lots of good information. |

i ran across cumminsforum.com which is dedicated to all year model dodges that came with a cummins, so there's more info on that site that i could ever go through. believe they have over 30k members. did learn i had a nv5600 manual tranny, but not sure what the transfer case is. anybody take a guess ? it looks similar to the one on my kj, but 3x the size. |

No, but it specifically says PICS OF OTHER JEEPS OR 4WDS at the top of the forum. It's not brand-denominational. SWEET truck! |

Might try CTDregistry.com, too. Years ago when I had my CTD that was a good source of info. Nice truck. |

got a few plans for it. about to cut the cat and muffler off and have a straight pipe put on it. getting a valair dual disk clutch as well, and a few gages to monitor the vitals. eventually want to get a smarty jr and stack that with the edge box. should be good for 450 hp. that'll be enough.

is placing a straight pipe on it going to affect the backpressure for the turbo and the engine? Will it cause the valves to float i guess is my question? I know that it'll make it F-in loud and a sooter! good luck with modding... my dad just put 315 BFGs and a leveling kit on his powerstroke...totally different beast now with the Magnaflow cat-back as well

no back pressure affected. the turbo is providing the back pressure, so it should have a positive effect along with the 6" air intake im putting on there at the same time. only tim i have heard of someone floating the valves on a cummins is when they were pushing the motor above 4k rpm's. |
