I was stopped at a light and this Powerstroke pulled up on my left. This was in a 45mph zone and the next light was onlt two or three blocks away so I didn't give any thought to racing. When the light turned I gave it my normal half throttle start which, with the DTT tc, put me about 2 car lenghts in front of him by the time we got through the intersection. I then heard this roar and here he came, blowing black smoke, for all he was worth. He was completely past me when I jumped on it enough to know that I could have ate him up :D and then I let off since I was up to about 60mph and as I said this was a 45mph zone. I had to laugh as he continued putting out the black smoke. He'll probably be telling all his buddies how he smoked me but maybe we'll meet again sometime and I can wake him up.

Make sure next time you smoke him, because you wouldn't want him to tell all his buddys that he spanked a Cummins. I always get beat since I can't shift fast enough.
 
It is hard to to shift a 6 speed fast enough to beat the powerjokes. HOWEVER, I can outpull and pass those powerjokes while towing any day. Coming back from Poteau, OK

over Memorial day, I caught up to a couple of empty alumimum horse trailers being pulled by a powerjoke and duracrap. They were both in the left hand lane with the powerjoke in front of the

duracrap going up a long hill. I moved over to the right hand lane and processed to blow by them while pulling hard at 85MPH. It was funny to see both of these trucks stick close together like they were going to sift me or they thought. Anyway, I was pulling 8,000 lbs. behind me.



Nothing feels better than to pass cars and powerjokes while towing uphill.
