there are deals like that out there for a 98.5-02. the 94-98 12v are the money trucks

i seen a few that had under 100k mi go for around $16k

it takes a retarded swap into a chassis to make them go faster then 10s in 1/4.. so i figure make it retard in the body it came in and try to pull 30k lbs 300ft

I know there's at least one guy who runs mid 9s in his street driven Duramax.

yea the happy gas is his best friend. that dude could eliminate the entire city of milwaukee with the nuke of shot he runs. that system he built is pretty sweet! he says he spends more time fixing it then driving it

i would say it hauls for a suncoast built 47re dodge transmissioned duramax

id be happy with a 10 second cummins

I got a pretty decent deal on my CR. I love this truck.

After spending plenty of time in powerstrokes and a duramax in our plow trucks, the Cummins is just so much nicer in every way. Ideally I'd like a Cummins in a 03-06 3/4 ton chevy...but oh well...the Dodge has been above my expectations!

fuck chevys, ifs belongs on 2wd

what tuner u got?

**T-Bag** · 03-30-2009, 04:35 PM

I agree on the IFS...although it is a little bit smoother of a ride.

I ended up getting the diablosport predator. Just running it on the towing tune right now. I was going to get the Edge Juice...but all I have plans for is exhaust. Really just want to wake up the thing a little more, it's my DD and don't want to strain the tranny a whole lot more.

**SmokinRAM114** · 03-30-2009, 10:12 PM

yea the 48re cant handle much.... well neither can any mopar trans. the bug will bite u and u will eventually want more

**T-Bag** · 03-30-2009, 10:29 PM

I managed to stay conservative with my GTP...hopefully I can do the same with this thing haha.

**SmokinRAM114** · 03-30-2009, 11:06 PM
