How happy I am since I traded my 2003 2500HD Hemi for a 2005 3500HD
Dually....

I am now a firm believer in gas can't pull sh.t compared to a turbo D. BTW,
I wooped a hemi's a.s on the freeway today. I was pegged out speedo wise at
about 2600 RPM's, I think he let up or got all chicken sh.t on me at about
110, but from 70 to 120, he couldn't keep up and lost ground fast. I wonder
how fast these beasties will go.....160??? Now, we got tune these puppies to
run a little faster between 0 and 50, that seems to be the dog range of the
turbo D.
*(Race was conducted on a closed track, by a professional red neck north
Texas driver on I-20 between I-45 and I-35 at about 2:30 PM today) errr, I
can't speak for the 2500 Hemi driver. I think he's got sh.t in his pants
right now.

Oh, there's ways to do that... :) Today, I left a parking lot, right onto
a divided highway. The acceleration put me back in the seat enough that I
felt the seat tilt back (reverse-spun the power adjusting motor) to it's
furthest point.

Hmm, maybe I better get a bigger motor for my electric seats. It would be a
bitch to lose a race to a ford because the damn seat borked.
