Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Well, folks I will be leaving for good in a few weeks. My subscription runs out and I no longer own my 05 CTD.
I got rid of it because I could not stand the color of it anymore, and it was wrecked 3 times with in a year. Yes, it was red. I only had 8,120 miles on it, and was getting around 11 to 12 mpg in the city and that was babying it. I never did any highway driving with it. I really could not afford another diesel, so I opted for a Hemi. I own my own rig and that is coasting me. The payment, fuel and all the other good stuff. I got a 06 quad cab short wb. Color gray. I do miss the Cummins, but I don't miss having to deal with all the little quarks. Like the getting gauges, fuel psi, the HPCR pumps and what mod do I want. With the Hemi I getting 10 to 11 mpg in the city.
I had the red truck 4 months and hit a deer, then about 5 week ago it got rerended siting out in front of my house. It was in the body shop for 3 weeks. I got it back on a Thursday night, and took it to the dealer the next day to see what I could get for a trade in. I took a truck out for a test drive and took it over night. The next day I went back to the dealer and told them the problems with the truck I had test drove, so I test drove another one, and sighed the papers on it. Then when I was getting ready to take my stuff out of my red truck I had seen where the dealer had wrecked it. They had side swiped a pole and caved the whole side of the bed in, not more than 36 hours after I got it from the body shop. It was a target truck.
I just have to get use to this Hemi.
Well, thank you for all the info you have given me over the past few years. Take care. I will have another CTD with in a few years. I just have to get my rig paid off first.
