I just sprang for a new ride Tuesday night. My 96 Dodge 4X4 with a 318cid engine (with 150,000 miles on it)was not enough truck on the highway. At the ramp it's fine, but in a head wind I can only run 55mph (and that's with me running behind it pushing it).

I told the wife I planned to fish the SKA tournament trail this year and needed diesel power to pull it. So we found a "good deal" on a demo that had 5,000 miles on it. Really I don't think there is such a thing as a good deal, but for what we got I don't feel "to bent over".

It's a 2500 Quad cab 4x4 Cummings diesel with a automatic trans. I had to go with the automatic so the wife can drive it. The clutch on the other Dodge was too hard. So I'm stuck driving it still.

She loves it! It's quite, fast and it has a great ride. I could beleive the get-up n go it has. I have not pulled the boat yet, but it looks like I'll get to fish Sunday so I'll give it a try then.

I wish I could post a photo, I put a picture of my boat on "New Members" thread. But now I don't know how I did it.
