You bet Brad, a flattie with a supercharger would be neat, but I am going after a truck in the end that I can take on a 5-6 hour drive if i need too haha.

Not that I would want to with a 460 done up a little either, i would have to borrow 20 bucks from each of my buds in here just for gas!!

And jake the hammer, thats a deadly nickname!

There are people that are REALLY into it. They plan vacations around it. I am not that extreme but I do like to watch for them and will make a detour on a road trip if there is a famous rail crossing or landmark close by. The coolest thing that ever happened to me train related was seeing a UP DDA40X, road number 6936 rolling down the tracks along Highway 75, just north of Willis, TX. I almost ran off the road. The DDA40X is the largest diesel locomtove ever built. It's a monster and there is only one DDA40X on the rails still and I saw it. Didn't have a camera with me though....rats!

This is a DDA40X that is in Cody Park in North Platte, NE.

Cool story Scott,that is a big @$$ train.there is about a five mine stretch south of town that hwy61 runs right along the tracks down through the bottom fields and its fun to pace the trains to see how fast there going.65 was the fastest they don't have to slow down for a long way,so they turn them loose.

Thanks Jay, Sheldon and everyone else! Sheldon, info on the Lanz Bulldog: semi diesel engine, damn reliable, takes about 10-20 minutes to start even worse in cold weather, burns any type of unrefined fuel IE:diesel fuel, cooking oil, waste engine oil, and fuel oil.

Out of curiosity does anyone know how much a code reader would cost? One that would do a 7.3 and 6.0 PowerStroke at least.

There is a term for those people: railroaders call them "foamers". Nothing wrong with being a foamer. I am a semi-foamer.

I guess the AE is about $600 if you have a laptop to put it on.
