What- I'm the only one? With all the CTD's in my area, that's dissappointing. Don't know if he was a TDR member or not, but I saw a sweet red 3500 4x4 with either a C/C or Q/C ( went by too fast to tell). Had dual 5" stacks coming up through the box. He was pulling a nice big 5ver. Saw him once last year also.

No you are not the only one... I saw a biege Ram (approx early 80's) w/ stacks with Cat stickers in the window but couldn't tell if it was CTD.

There are a few 2nd gen CTD's around here, but only a couple of 1st gens. I know of one other like mine about 20 miles away. Also a friend has a 1st gen CTD in his Chevy crew cab.

 

[bmoeller]

Any TDR members in Hennepin? I've seen this truck a couple of times, 1st. gen, reg cab, BLACK , 4x4, longbox. Seen it a block east of ADM/Growmark.

On Sunday I saw a nice white dually with stacks going south on I-55 about 40 miles south of Chicago.

Mount Carroll? Have you seen a "50 Dodge Power Wagon, green w/black fenders? I sold my "friend" of 17 yrs to a guy up there. It was originally from there!Kind of miss the ole beast. Good luck at the pulls, we watch the competitions at River Boat Days in Clinton Iowa in July.

I have twice in the last couple of weeks seen a BLACK first gen with dual stacks, polished rims running around the east side of the Quad Cities. Who is this??



I run around in a red first gen.



I too pulled at clinton river boat days, makquokita, and Milledgville IL. I run a red 75 Dodge in the street stock classes.



Watched you pull at clinton, can't remember at milledgville though, I was really interested in the good runnin' cummins trucks in the diesel class. Ended up putting one on the back of my trailer and hauling him back to the Peoria, after the turbo came apart. The red one with twin stacks. Something about 50psi+ of boost:--)

I'll have to keep my eyes open for it. Haven't seen it yet.

 

[propuller]

MMiller i pulled my blue & silver 01 dodge with stacks at milledgville in the diesel class. i got 2nd that night because i didnt add any weight. the white dodge with stacks won & i also witnessed the red dodge grenade his turbo. i saw you pullin him out & it looked like you had a hell of a load. i pulled against the white dodge & the red one in wyoming il & i beat them both that day but i added weight also. Never go to a 7500 lb pull weighing only 6900. Maybe ill see ya around next year. Kurt.

 

[MMiller]

Yeah, it was a good load, and a good evening for my 93, once we got goin the right direction. Thats how I usually have it loaded, as both my wife and I are into truck pulling. I need to get her truck running for next summer so we can take both trucks out.



Those other two trucks don't run to bad, they just run single turbos and no drugs. I was very impressed with the diesel class that night. First time for me to see bombed trucks in person. I was sitting at about 320' taping the diesels pull. My buddy taped most of the street stock class too. Even that duramax ran pretty hard, not up with the dodges, but none the less he had some time and money wrapped up in his truck.



I do not know if next summer I will be living out here. Got a job offer in western IA, don't know what we are gonna do yet. If we are still out here, I plan on doing some more pullin with the ISP, when they have a street class.
