Good morning Rhode Island.

Did everyone have a good weekend?

I spent the weekend working the 9-5 thing, then working on my 56 project some, then watched my buddy paint a plow, and finially we started serting up his new tool box.

Not a bad weekend at all here. Got the garage a little more organized on Saturday, then watched the Pats game. Yesterday, I borrowed my buddy's '12 Cummins dually and trailer to get my daughter's boyfriend's Scion. He had hit a curb and bent a control arm, so I replaced that yesterday afternoon.

Gotta say, that Dodge is a nice truck.

Evening RI. It sure was a Monday. Everyone get to see the PATS? This is going to be a fun game to watch Sunday!

Putting on a new glue plug relay. One of the only things I didn't do over the summer. It's only two years old, but ....
Should fire right up tomorrow now.

Dodge Bob? Really? I expected mute from you! Lol

LOL Wade, in my defense, it's the newest truck I've driven in at least five years. I may have been swayed by all the goodies: heated seats and steering wheel, factory nav and backup camera...

Sandy asked me how I felt about getting back into my old trusty (rusty) 95 from the 2012. I told her that while the Dodge is a nice truck, I didn't get that "OMG I GOTTA HAVE ONE" feeling.

I still think, at some point, a 6.0 is what I'll end up in.

Happy Tuesday RI !! 48* ?!?! Did I miss the rest of Jan and Feb ?!?!?!

I look at it this way Bob. The more electrical doo dads the more stuff to break that I cant fix

Nothing wrong with a 6.0 as long you know what you're getting into. I think they have the most potential for the cheapest $$. Just my .02

Have a GREAT day everyone and stay dry!

Hump dayyyyyyyy!!!!

Well gang we rounded the curve and the weekend is quickly approaching.


Have a great day.

My buddie just bought a 2014 big horn dodge ram. I also didn't get the "I gotta have one feeling" , but the extra bells and whistles are nice.

Good hump day to ya RI!! I admit that I to have a buddy that bought a 2013 ram. I was not overwhelmed with envy though. I prefer the power of the Ford 6.7 over the Cummins version. These new diesels are just sooooo quiet! I think I'll stick with my 7.3. The payments are better anyway. Lol.

Wade I agree there. Everytime I hop in a lariat f350 crew cab pickup truck with the nav, premium stereo, power everything, 20" chrome wheels, and the power closing mirrors, I get the "I want one feeling". Then I fire up the new Diesel engine. if I wasn't looking at the cluster I would swear the thing is t running.

I want my Diesel engine to sound like I just poured a 50lb sack of 3/4" nuts and bolts down the intake.

Happy Thursday all! Two more loooong days to go.

As far as diesels go, the most recent ones I've driven were the Dodge, and an 06 Dmax a buddy at work bought. I was more impressed with the Dmax...

Have a great day guys!

Happy Thursday to all.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Unfortunately for me all I get to do is drive the trucks around the building so I can park them in he service area. :-(. I don't get an operatunity to "really" drive any of these new trucks.
