Now normally depending on how much your truck is bestedinto the busness.you deduct that perrcentage ffom the interresy, fjel, maintance, deappreciation for 5yrs, repairs, and taxes.

If I spent that money on mods you did it would not have a chance.

Bill, that's like saying if you spent the difference in money on a Camaro, that it would beat a Lamborghini in a top end run. It really doesn't matter. It's still a Camaro.

Did you let up at the end? Because it looked like he started to catch you (or at least close the gap) at the end.

I ran a 9.4 @75.87 mph. This was before I got the BTS trans and Live Tuning from Jody @ DP-TUNER. My truck runs better now.

Mike has different injectors and turbo then what I have. His truck does smoke. I don't guess the vid picked up on the smoke.

If it is something that I am buying for personal use, I don't buy it unless I have the cash to pay for it. For a business, I can understand where borrowing the money is beneficial. For instance, say you are starting a new company(geophysical logging company here, since that is what I have experience with) and you need 20 trucks. Even buying stripped down XL models you are still looking at $600,000 just for the trucks. To outfit each truck with the tools and mods it needs to work requires an additional $1,500,000 per truck. You now have $1,530,000 per truck, or a total of $30,600,000. Not many people have that kind of cash just sitting around the house. These trucks make, on average, about $10,000 per day, or $300,000 per month total. Payments on a $30 million dollar loan come out to $150,000 per month, which leaves a profit of $150,000 per month for the owner(before paying employees). Without the loan, you don't even get the business. With the loan you make a good living.
Humm... A 1.5 million dollar truck with vinyl seats and no CD player... I think I would at least op for the XLT xince you are only talking about a $3000 increase at most, which is 0.2% increase in price. You might get happier employees that way
