04.5 2500 Cummins.....230k on the clock...rust free VA truck. I want to thank member VanishPt for checking it out for me. I bought it on his recommendation after he met with the owner.  Just as descibed and the former owner even drove 4 hrs to get it within 2 for me  I can hardly wait for next season.  ...it will be my daily driver though

DOH! Mods just got owned lolz~
Probably the same Mod that deleted my drum of racing fuel out of the race parts section, but leaves the other drum of race fuel in the race section. That guy is getting on my nerves to the point I might just call it a day on this sight....The fricken BS from these guys WHO DON'T RACE ANYTHING is unreal!

way to go Eric... Im in the market for the very same said Race vehicle tow'er. White crewcab diesel..fwiw. You know those things run like 19.5 in the 1/4 mile..? There is alot of experienced people doing burnouts in CTD's can someone explain the proper proceedure..? also How do you guys Stage your tow vehicle when your in the lanes.? What is the MPH trap speed? now thats some race talk...should be enough to keep it right here in this section..lol Good looking truck post some pics...Im curious what everyone thinks about the mileage...Again considering ive been looking/market... should that mileage scare anyone? in my case it prolly would be driven daily also..or mostly daily (work)plus races.. Actually id attend way more races if i had a CTD. Eric do you know what axle ratio it has? Is it stock-unmodified or upgraded? cheapst

Glad you are finally able to get your truck, I know you have been looking for one for some time, I like my 93, wasn't real impressed with it towing ability at first, but after a new 4" exhaust, new performance injectors, and having one of the local diesel guru's "tune it up", it run's better than new, so it should make the tow to Bob George country a lot less of a white knuckle trip.

Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

I have a freind that had a 2005 4WHD 3500 dually with the automatic that towed his race car trailer, enclosed 24 Ft Pace Shadow and he had a 12.5 camper on it usually, I couldn't outrun him on the hills here in Oregon with my truck and same trailer with no camper on my truck 
It is really fun passing the other brands, especially the V10, on the hills
