I'm right against the coast mountains. I get "only" about 50" of rain a year. 5 miles west they get over 200". Many times I can watch the rain storms come down the hills towards me and stop at the West end of my property.

You can have my share. We only get 15"/year, and that's to much.......

I have a 95 DRW PSD crew cab and a truck camper.

I live SW of Dallas OR out in the boonies.
I wish I could change my name too. Oh well...

You have any mods done to your truck? Mine started out as a '95 DRW Crew Cab also. Got a good deal on it, didn't need a dually. So it's now a SRW. Gotta love the OBS trucks! (Older But Superior)

It did just that all day today. I'm at 350 feet elevation and there is a 2,700 foot ridge 3 miles West. The storms will break up falling down the backside.

It was mixed sunny and cloudy all day with only a few sprinkles.

No intention of doing away with the Dually, I haul a heavy camper. I am considering doing a 4x4 conversion.

I've added a coolant filter, they are supposed to make the water pump last longer. I made a massive hitch to allow me to extend 42" back to allow me to tow with the camper on. I also ran #4 wire from the alternator back to a lift gate plug in the bed to charge the camper quicker.

Sounds like some good mods. My dad built a hitch extension for his truck with the camper so he could tow the boat with it on.

Any intake/exhaust or trans cooler mods?

100,5--.

It was drove harsh by its last owners, I have put a lot of money into it and it has dents and body damage. Looks like the smashed the bottom passenger side down onto a rock, maybe you can see it in the photo, it's got quit a large bend on the bottom there and the door and fender are in pretty bad shape, too.

I am thinking of finding a new passenger door and fender (hard with no job; hard to find jobs right out of high school with no experience)

Nothing on the intake or exhaust.

The original owner of the truck put a giant transmission cooler on the truck early on.

You should let that diesel breathe... get you better mpg's and keep EGT's down for towing.
