Which CTD do you own?

[klenger]

I thought it would be interesting to see what percentage of TDR members own what generation trucks, so I thought a poll would be fun. Please, please, let's not turn this into a "my truck is better than your truck" thread. The poll allows multiple selections as some of you have more than one.

 

[Rescue Ram]

Great idea! I am interested to see the results.

I plan on selling my 02 CTD and purchasing a 05/06 from Tomeygun. Then a first gen 12v CTD for the "fun" of it. The first gen will be my experimental machine.

King of stock torque checking in.

Keeping the pride alive



1st gen to the END.

 

[MMiller]

Yeah, I got a first gen, two to be exact. Heck I would trade my 75/440 4X4 pulling truck for another first gen! I'd like to have a diesel pulling truck, course it would have to have a VE and a getrag :--)

im the other with the powerstroke

 

[Cattletrkr]

I own a 3rd gen but my heart belongs to the 2nds. Dang I miss that thing.

I have a friend that sold his 02 and picked up an 05. He complains that the 05 isn't near as comfortable as his 02.

 

[GFritsch]

Almost clicked 2nd gen 12v then remembered that I have a new one. Sure do miss the rattle of old blue...

1st, 2nd, 3rd. ?

Being a new member not sure "Exactly" what you mean by 1st Gen, 2nd Gen, 3rd Gen. Could be used truck or something else. I bought a 2000 Quad Cab 2x4 Dodge/Cummins Turbo Diesel 24 valve truck from Dave Smith in 2000... ... ... . I thought it was pretty quiet at first, but then I got hearing aids and it wasn't as quiet as I thought. I did develop a problem with some RPM surge at 35 and 49 MPH and went to two transmission shops and neither one could tell me what was wrong. Then I read an article in Trailer Life Magazine by Hal Neuman of Las Vegas NV on how to re-caliberate the Accelerator Pedal Posion Sensor, so I followed his article instructions and it worked out great, NO MORE PROBLEM ! Beings I saved all that money I spent $35 and joined Turbo Diesel Register and my next problem I am a coming to you guys... ... ... LOL Oo.

 

[EarlKann]

My '83 Crew looks like a first gen, but I voted for conversion. Who are the rest of you conversion people??

 

[klenger]

SDRalston: Your truck is a 2nd gen 24 Valve. 3rd gens came out in 2003. Welcome to the TDR.

 

[AMink]

what you mean by 1st Gen, 2nd Gen, 3rd Gen.

1st gen=1989-1993, the oldest body style with a Cummins

2nd gen=1994-2002, both 12 valve (94-98. 5) and 24 valve (98. 5-02)

3rd gen=2003 and newer, 555, 600, 610 engines



Welcome aboard! You'll end up learning more here than you probably need to know!

 

[klenger]

A minor correction to AMink's excellent information: Some of the 2003 trucks (i. e. 47RE autos) came with a starndard outpout engine and the CA trucks were different too. I don't know that the actual torque ratings were, but they were lower than 555. I think they even offered the NV4500 5 speed in 2003 with the SO engine.

 

[MFalkinham]

3rd gen=2003 and newer, 555, 600, 610 engines

Aren't those of us with the standard output 460 part of the 3rd Gen family? #ad

 

[AMink]

My bad! Sorry, didn't leave anyone out on purpose! The spell check didn't catch my booboo . The 3gs moved so fast in the engine compartment, I couldn't keep up! Guess it would be easier to tell by body style.

 

[MFalkinham]

No problem, AMink! Had to give you a hard time!

I love it there in Reno, by the way. I can't wait for my next business trip out your way!
