05 CTD vs 96 V10 Dually

[JApol]

If you have seen the Fall Brawl thread in the Northeast thread since last night you will know that I made contact with the only Doge product bigger than me, a 1996 V10 Dually long bed with a custom paint job. This is mine after I got the bumper and grill taken off and did a test drive to make sure everything worked right. The door glass did not break, this morning I took the door panel off and got the glass to go all the way up.



The second set is what I did to him.

hey, rhinoman kinda has this occurance on film... all you can see though is the smoke from your tires and when you got spun around. then all you can see is feet as he was running, but it you want to see this get ahold of him at 805 0104, his name is brandon

Your right, I though i posted the story.



The first run on the dyno was about 170/350 stock. Not real impressive. Flipped on the SP Diesel box and my truck came to life in a very big way. The second run spit out numbers just under run three which were 422. 24/756. 90. Hammer and I looked at each other with WTF? on our faces. I pulled out of the bay and was going to take it down the road to cool it off and get a pack opf smokes. I went to pull out southbound on US 15. There was a blacked out ram waiting to turn left. I stopped behind him to see if there was any traffic coming, didn't see anything and hopped on it. I got wide turning on the the hiway and next thing i know WHAM!! Our fenders met and knocked me somewhat straight down the road, then I cought his dually fender right in the door sending me into a spin. When our fenders met it ripped the front left of the bumper off putting the right side into the tire which turned my tires with the skid making it possible to slide back across the right lane and shoulder into the grass facing northbound.



The fender is bent around the frame that runs through there, the frame looks straight. The drivers side window was down, did not break the glass. I'm just glad it wasn't a ricer, wouldn't have minded taking one out but that would have really hurt him. That and my frame probably would have taken a bigger hit.

My truck is back from the shop, it is not completally done but the time ran out on the rental. But at least all the body lines are straight.

What's not done? Looks nice!

 

[JApol]

There isn't a grille insert, the honeycomb hasn't arrived yet. The wheel is still damaged, the middle tie rod and tie rod end are still bent.
