Can I stretch my stocking a little?
Our good editor wants to know what I would like, as long as I can fit it in a stocking. Let's see, that makes it a bit sticky. Although I have a 06 2500 SLT, I could pull a bigger trailer with a bigger truck. That would be very nice to get, a new 4500 set up to pull a RV trailer. Just think about it! But wait, I have to find a stocking to fit the thing into. My gosh! I might have to have that stocking custom made, I don't know anyone who wears anything anywhere near that size. Then I have to figure out how to get it out of the stocking, no small feat in itself. And then there's the problem of getting it down off the mantle without doing any more damage than that done getting it put there in the first place. On second thought I think I'll pass on the new truck, the repairs to my family room floor, ceiling, chimney, and the rental of the crane to lift the truck out of the basement (since the floor didn't hold) and back onto my driveway might all cost more than the truck is worth. I better think again.
Well, like everyone, I'd like to improve my fuel economy, even though fuel cost has dropped some lately. Good thing I already have a cold air intake kit, those parts would take a stocking bigger than anything I have around.
I think my choices actually come down to two. I could ask for a programmer which would definitely help my truck and I know that it would fit either into one of my heavy wool calf-high hunting socks (maybe I have to call them stockings) or it would fit the decorative stocking I have which I hang on the mantle to receive gifts. Either way I know that I could hang up the stocking and be confident the gift would fit.
The other choice is also appealing, but I would have to get my wife to cooperate on this one. I could use a new T304 stainless exhaust which would look great while helping with fuel economy and really help the engine breathe along with my existing cold air kit. Together they really help get the power out of that wonderful cummins.
My wife's help? You saw it coming, didn't you? I need some pantyhose to use as stockings for the stainless pipes. It'll probably ruin them too, she's only 5' 4" and I think those pipes will stretch the pantyhose a bit, but I think that they would hold although the pipes might hang out some. Yep that's it, it's a real winner. A new T304 stainless exhaust hanging from the mantle stuffed in a pair of pantyhose stockings. I can't wait!
