The exhaust brake and manual transmission really made the difference.

Our company owns nothing but Cummins duallies, automatics and six speeds and having logged lots of miles in both, I literally can not wrap my head around buying an automatic. The sticks are eleventy billion times more pleasant to drive.

love my much abused and highly modified dodge dually/cummins, so much so if the deuce ever shells out the multifuel its likely going to get a 12v

Poor 98G his luck is pretty rough.... I agree mostly on the manual over automatic statement. I have had a few f250's with automatics wow was it nice... I do enjoy my z06 6 speed pretty good it would not be as awesome with an auto.

AZ/KS/MO/OK/NM/NE, varies by the day...
Three more trips completed MN to AZ. Here's some random pics mixed together from the 3 final trips.

These trips were completely uneventful. Oh yeah, except the emissions crap on Redtruck picked the end of trip 2 to decide to clog beyond the ability of a regen to fix. It will no longer be a problem..... deleted, with extreme prejudice.

I'm done. Trailer is posted on Craigslist. If it doesn't sell in Phoenix in the next few days, I'll drag it back and sell it in OK.20170211_154701.jpgdownload_20170126_170654.jpg

Food looks yummy! Done dragging stuff around for awhile? On a side note, thanks for looking over the listing for that M927A2 I bid on, before I bid. I didn't win but the thought was very much appreciated!

Nice looking halftrack. If I sell my private jet I can probably afford one.:)

A friend of mine had a polydactyl (AKA Hemingway) cat named Mittens. That was my first introduction to that kind of cat. I'm a big time cat lover. Before meeting Mittens, I never knew they existed.
