2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission My truck is awesome!

[BoostIsGood]

After owning my truck for 3 months I finally got to put it to use today. I took my 30' boat out for the season and towed her home :{ about 40 miles. With the AC on and about 10000-11000 in tow she walked over the Zilwaukee bridge without me having to touch the go pedal or even worry about "getting a run going" before I hit the incline, unlike every gasser I have had, inlcuding a 454.



While my only mod is a rusted tailpipe that fell off (I can hear the turbo much better now) I was very happy with its performance. I know I only have 420# of torque and not as heavy of a trailer as many of you, but I just wanted to share my excitement with those of you who share the same appreciation for things like this.



Next year I am hitting the hills up north with no fear (once I get a transmission temp gauge)

Why get a gauge, it's lasted this long without one? Glade you liked the truck.

Glad it's working for you.



Now, move here to AZ where you can boat all year long!



BTW, I'm going out tomorrow. Nanny nanny boo boo!

What if he gets a hole in a line or starts to leak fluid somewhere going down the road and doesn't notice it? Or if he's pulling a long hill and the transmission starts to heat up. If he has the transmission temp guage he'll be able to know theres a problem when his temps go through the roof. And save the transmission before it becomes a big peice of scrap metal.
