My New Year's Wish (Ends January 13, 2012)

I love many things, the sound of the cummins with about 8K being pulled behind while passing other campers going up hill is one! Second, is all of the guys that watch me pull into a parking lot and I can see their envy!!!!
 
I am an engineer the Navy and just like I love it when the engines on the ship start up and the ship starts to shake, rattle, and has that nice hum when the ship is moving through the water. That is the same felling that I get when I get done working on the truck, fire up the engine, let it shake, rattle, and hum as I am driving down the road. That feeling is what I love best about my truck.
 
I like the way my Dodge/Cummins has helped me avoid $3K in fuel costs over 100K miles over my former Toyota. That, and the way it runs by other pickups on the big end are what I like about my truck.
 
Not only is the Dodge Ram a fun truck to drive but it gives you a since of security that the Cummins engine will take you where you need to go. Having had a 2002 2500, then a 2007 2500 and just purchasing a 2010 3500 the truck gives you a since of pride
 
I just love the fact that the engine has been proven in so many applications before even being considered for use in a pickup!! Been around since Moby Dick was a minnow and still improving!!

And on another note... Who has ever heard of a Powerstroke or Duramax being transplanted into a Dodge!!??

Anyone???... The silence is deafening!!:-laf
 
Love to have my truck back

I would love to have my truck back. I will, soon. Right now it is in the body shop to have the damage it received on the evening on June 21st repaired. That evening as my wife and I headed for the basement, my truck, my Gulfstream Travel Trailer, my house, and many of my neighbors were hit by an EF2 tornado which did an estimated $20 million in cumulative damages. Fortunately no one suffered any severe injuries, only minor. Although several houses were totally destroyed or received so much damage that they would have to be torn down, my house fared better. Shingles were missing from the roof and sections of the roof were damaged so the house has been re-roofed. The aluminum siding has been damaged, bent, etc so it will have to be replaced. But otherwise no major damage to the house. However every tree in my previous very shady lawn is gone. We still haven't finished cleaning up the mess.
My truck had a black walnut tree fall on it. The tree left the cab roof caved in about 5 inches and popped the cap off the bed. It also smashed the driver side rear view mirror. Other than that, although it took 3 hours to chain saw in far enough to open a door and back the truck out from under the branches which crossed the hood and went down both sides of the truck, there was no other major damage. However there were scratches, dings, scuff marks, etc to every body panel except the front and rear bumpers. The estimate was close to $10,000. 00 plus $1,300. 00 to replace the cap. The Trailer was also under the black walnut, but was also spared major damage, but covered with marks from being hit by flying roof shingles and other debris
I'll be very happy to get my truck back, the insurance rental sedan just isn't as comfortable.
 
I love knowing I can do anything at all, from a trip to the market to towing the heaviest load, to camping, to taking my wife on a date. It does it all with style and grace.
 
It,is a cummins it,is power ; it,is not a power joke but it keep the stroke.
