My First Was An 89. Only Had It For A Year. It Just Made Me Want A Newer One. I Bought A New '97 Cab Chassis And Had A Flatbed On It. It Was My Favorite. All I Did To It Was Put A Cam Plate In It. And Put New 5th Gear Lock Nuts In It Regularly. My Latest Is An '04 4door With An Automatic. I Hotshotted With It. It Had An Older Edge Chip ( And A Hotone Too). Good Enough To Take The Transmission Out Three Times. I Quit Hotshotting And Had Ptc In Muscle Shoals Build A Super Tranny For Me. I Am Real Happy With It. I Plan On Pulling A 5th Wheel Camper With It Now. By The Way, I Worked Out Of Outlaw Trucking In Cullman. They Are Real Dodge Diesel Enthusiests. We Need To Get Them Involved. Dale

DieselDale, you can be the oldest if you want to, I commute between Snellville, GA and Gurley, AL, Have a house in each place, and I am 63. Retired from US Army in 1992, my wife is from Gurley, and my girlfriend is from Snellville, Guess I should make up my mind.
I currently have 3 and 1/2 Dodges. A 94 CTD with tranny problems. A 98 12V with oil leak problem, a 2005 Dakota with no balls, and a 1999 GMC 3500 HD with 454 Gas. I just picked up a 2005 CTD 5.9 out of a GMC Topkick, with the plan to install it in the GMC. It has a Holset VGT turbo on it and I am looking for a PCM to hook it all together. I also have a NV4500 to replace the 4L80E in the GMC, along with a Gear Vendor Over/Under Drive. It is going to be fun, and I think I will do the (conversion) build in Gurley. The GMC has a stretched frame with a 11ft bed, and I currently use it to haul my 5th wheeler, or my travel trailer, or my 21 foot boat.
