Now for all you durapukes & powersmokes, I really don't have a 5500!!

Why stop at 5500, why not make it a 7500 or higher? :-laf

Reminds me of the BMW guys putting M emblems on regular 3 series.

 

[CUMMINZ]

I could not find a "7"... ... .

 

[MRosinski]

All your missing is the 19. 5's or 22. 5's Then you got yourself a true 5500

 

[Forrest Nearing]

old man up the road always said "if it don't go... chrome it!"

 

[CUMMINZ]

19. 5s in the spring!!! Oo.

 

[MRosinski]

Are you gonna run aluminums or steels?

 

[CUMMINZ]

Wheels

I think I am going with steel rated at 5k per wheel. Have them powder coated the same Inferno Red as my truck.

 

[MerkelG]

Thats why Harleys have a lot of chrome on them.

I have basically left my badging alone, except for applying the Jake Brake badges. . I did like the Cummins badge on my 04 better than the one on the 06.



I have never quite understood the stripping of all badges/chrome, but to each his own. I do find it interesting to create your own badges...



with all that said, I saw an 07 the other day and I really for the first time do not care for the badges. . Just too much.

I've ran into many of them. only 2 had me fooled until I looked at the stiching in the steering wheel, if there isn't the colors interwolven on the innner diamater of the cirlce, you can call their BS



Seats, running boards, wheels, emblems, ect are EASY to replace. but to pull a steering wheel with airbag to be a look alike, you should of just bought a real M3

 

[WDixon27]

i like it when they put the M on upside down so it's a W :-laf



this is close enough for me, the new massive brakes and 5 lug/suspension

wheels i put on my older 325

Did you figure out what size?? 265's would bring down your O/D too much for your size trailer imo. My 04' will pull 2100 rmp@ 75mph.

 

[JMalone]

That looks good! I like what you did on the tailgate!!

 

[CUMMINZ]

Mr

I turn now 2100 at 70 with my 4. 10s.

 

[MRosinski]

Whoops, couple typos in that post. I meant 2000rpm@75, not 2100rmp @ 75. :-laf

 

[DBentley]

Looks good where did you get the letters and numbers from?

 

[CUMMINZ]

Numbers from DC parts dept.
