Wow verrrrry nice!

BLACKDOG · « **Reply #10 on:** Oct 13, 2009, 08:52:22 PM »

Thanks guys.

Its got some mods in the near future, I'm going to install a chip, intake, exhaust, hopefully a jake brake, mild lift, 35"s, toolbox, spray in bedliner (gonna spray the headache rack and box too I think), and the plates to run either a gooseneck or a 5th wheel

Lift and tires soon, as these are nearing the end of their life, then the other stuff as funds allow.

If you want to run both a gooseneck and a fifth-wheel condider the B&W hitch with the fifth-wheel adaptor. i have one in my 95 F-250 and i love it. flat load floor when i need it and one of the smoothest riding fifth-wheel hitches i have towed with. It may cost a little more but worth it IMO

Save up and get the smarty it is worth EVERY penny. run 5" exhaust and don't look back. My06 has the exhaust brake and i love it. It sounds very goofy but works very well. i ran the leveling kitwith 33s and love it. I also love the high idle for those cold days

BLACKDOG · « **Reply #15 on:** Mar 09, 2010, 09:39:46 PM »

Done a little over the past few weeks.

Headache rack was getting pretty rusty, and the wheels had some spots of rust on them as well (stock steelies) so I went ahead and painted them.

Then it was time for new shoes.

2" leveling kit, and jumped from a 265/70/17 to a 315/70/17

Old front stance

Pulling the coils to put in the spacers. Job went pretty easily, took about 3 hours start to finish. Max decided to help

Coil spacer. I went with the pro comp kit, very easy to install, clear directions, very good product IMO. $135 from Summit.

Got pics of the truck after the levelling kit and before the new shoes on my g/f's camera, but not with me now.

New shoes:

Nice! I had a 06 ram 2500 cummins 4x4 6 speed. Loved that truck. Transfer case ended up breaking at 94k so I traded for a 08 chevy 3/4 duramax since I was runnin lots of miles at the time for my job. I think my old dodge would have pulled this chevy all over the place but this chevy does ride like a caddy. Congrats on the truck!

Nice truck gotta love the cummins.

Check out DTR for an exhaust best price I found and free shipping.

wesley · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 15, 2010, 10:39:14 AM »

good choice on the truck. i've pulled some damn heavy loads behind a cummins. i swear unless it was heavier than six or seven thousand pound i didnt even know it was there

904x4yota · « **Reply #20 on:** May 12, 2010, 04:17:02 PM »

If you want an exhaust go to Cumminsforum.com and look in the vendors section and look for Farmboys diesel. Gus has the best price on exhaust around, I pay 300 shipped for my 5" and it sounds AWESOME.

Great choice by the way, CUMMINS.

rockin86runner · « **Reply #27 on:** Jul 03, 2010, 08:35:12 PM »

Hyena · « **Reply #28 on:** Jul 05, 2010, 11:00:12 PM »

drive a truck with stacks before you actually think of installing some. way too loud for me.

BLACKDOG · « **Reply #29 on:** Jul 06, 2010, 12:53:12 PM »

No stacks for me. This truck will most likely never see competition, and thats the only reason I'd put them on. Just not a fan of them.
