So I got something expensive for the FD today...

Will be sweet sitting in a nice, comfy, cruise control, A/C equipped, smooth riding, kick *** tow rig while I take the FD to the track... Nevermind the fact that I got 22-24mpg consistently on the way home! can you say less than an 1/8 of a tank driving 100+ miles? And this is before even chipping it, most people easily see a 4-6mpg increase after a few basic modifications, i'd guess i'll probably get somewhere around 18mpg towing the FD.
So now I just need to find an all black trailer, to go with my black dodge ram 2500, and my brilliant black R1
.Thanks for looking!

I'm not quite baller enough to be rollin' around with an enclosed trailer, maybe in a few years
... For now i'll be sportin an 18'-20' open trailer, tandum axle, electric brakes, gopher tail, pretty basic, but something I can get my hands on for $1500 or less
.
I'll definitly post up another picture when I get it outfitted to tow the FD around. Here is a picture of the FD itself, so for now everyone can just imagine it on a trailer, behind that truck
, excuse the dustyness, this was shortly after being pulled out of storage.

I work at a diesel performance shop... Those 24v Cummins do get up and go pretty good with just a chip and a few other minor mods. Tons of torque.
To bad you weren't closer to our shop or i would try and hook you up with a few goodies...

Yeah that would be cool. For now i'm just gonna get new tires, and a spray in bedliner for it (probably line-x), the mods will have to wait until after I get a trailer most likely.
And it scoots pretty good right now, I test drove one with the edge chip and it was just unreal how fast it was. I'm not lookin' for a ton of power, but it won't be hard to find

What kind of fuel additives do you guys use/push at your shop? A lot of the CTD guys seem to recomend this Power Service stuff, a buddy who's opinion I trust also says it's good. I just want something that will lubricate all the fuel/injection pumps and keep them happy for a long time to come

And thanks guys, i'm totally in love with this truck, if you ever have the opportunity I highly recommend one
