Wanted a 4x4 truck to lift and DD as well as take offroad and get in and out of hunting and fishing spots. I wanted a later model truck but I have a thing for solid axles. that narrowed it down to 2001 or earlier 1500 dodges, HD dodges or superduties. I definately wanted a diesel, but im a budget baller and i couldnt find a diesel in my price range.

I went to look at a 05 ram 2500 hemi, but he sold it before i got to it, then i found my truck. Got it for under 15K out the door and just at 70K miles,

I mostly use it as a DD and to get me, my buddies, and our fishing gear to our catching spots. Soon it will have a 25ft or bigger pontoon to pull around as well.

as soon as i can convince Florida to rain for me, im going to a secret spot on the airforce base to bury it in some mud... :headbang:

I cant wait for pics!!

I work rigs and I got my 3/4 ton cuz I got sick of wearing out a 1/2 ton in less than a year. 2 years on my 2500hd and havent even done any major work to it, 165,000 kms of trouble free drving...only got 100,000 kms out of my 1/2 tons before they were too shitterd to drive lol (although the last one would have lasted longer if I hadn't rolled it 4 times doing 160 km/h)

^And I even bought the 3/4 ton gently used!

I have mine cause I love diesel trucks. But I do have a 32 ft travel trailer I use it for. Once the diesel bug hits (DES; Diesel Engine Syndrome) as we call it on my other website it's tough to get rid of it. :jester:

:chewie:

First bought a 6.0 f250 to pull a 2001 supercrew show truck I used to have.. Fell in love with the power this diesel engines put out.. I always wanted a kingranch, so when the 2008 f250 came out, I wanted it.. So I traded the 6.0 for 6.4.. The 6.4 is awesome.. The power it makes with just a tune,exhaust, and intake is incredible.. Going to have this truck for a long time..

^How's the tranny hold up in those? I do love the look of the fords, especialy the interiors. I mostly ended up with the duramax cuz i needed something asap and it was a good price... actualy bought it from the ford dealer that I got all my previous fords from lol

Tranny has been holding up great.. Im still going to upgrade it, but till it breaks.. Have taken it to the track a few times.

Thats cool, our allisons shift great and feel solid but anymore than 100hp added and you gotta get it built... luckily im a mostly stock truck kinda guy and in stock form they are bulletproof it seems
