Re: Why Cummins is still #1
I watched part of that video (took a while on dial up internet) but I kept thinking "dude, shouldn't you stop and see what's wrong? your engine temp is HOT!"
The cooling system on my CTD has always been able to keep things cool, regardless of the load I've ever put behind it or how hot the day is.
Love seeing that CTD pulling like that and holding speed. A 2nd gen too.. Wonder if the CTD had any mods?

Re: Why Cummins is still #1
eloyztoyz.
Thats close to why I got rid of my chevy and went with Dodge. Going to visit my daughter in Yosemite and pulling a 5000lb travel trailer convinced me. Uphill in low range, foot through the floor doing 10-15 mph! Then through Arizona's mountains never getting above 25-30 mph, what a pain.
