I Spied..........

They also had something running. As I walked up to them, I could hear what sounded like a furnace or hot water heater power vent. I couldn't tell where on the vehicles it was coming from. The clerk at the front desk said all she knew was that they were cold weather testing. I just thought I would share that with you all.

That would be the new fuel-burning interior/engine heater - made by mopar.



I wish I had a flyer for it, but I could not find one around the dealership. I will see what I can do. The idea is same as the espar, but this is mopar made and uses diesel right from your tank, and has timers, etc

NICE!!

is this a true six speed? how reliable?



a true 6speed HD auto (exhauset brake compatible) with a 6. 7L VGT cummins with a mega cab... holy cow they are going to sell like hot cakes!! A true monster truck!! my bet is $45K though

Manufacturers vehicles running around...





I see quite a bit of manufact. vehicles running north on 127. Spotted a what looked to be magnum with the cloth wrappers to "hide" it last year. earlier this summer I saw a smaller what looked to be chevy with the cloth wrapping on it as well. The only truck Ive seen was the current body style ford super dutys. coulnt tell the front end (blocked again by cloth wrap) but they all seem to be white vehicles with the obvious black tarp on them.

It would make sense if they were testing a new auto transmission, to have a PowerWagon. It does have the current 48re, correct?

I miss living in michigan for this reason.



Brother lived south of metro airport and you would see alot of new ford stuff running around there typicaly.

I've seen vehicles around marquette (twice) with the big huge black padded cover to hide the specifics. Wish I would have been up there to see those.

There was approximately 7 Cummins powered trucks. Every combo you can think of.

Did you notice a long bed Crew cab?

[KBalzuweit]

They had to bring a Chevy, so when a Dodge breaks they have something to tow it home with :-laf . Sorry just had to say it.

 

[Devan Manis]

whatever dude as soon as they started that 06 the glow plugs melted and that was the end of the cold testing on that truck. Im playing calm down.

Did you notice a long bed Crew cab?

Yes. It was a 2 wheel drive.
