Dirt Devil 2.0 is home.

86,069 miles when I signed the papers.
I am owner #2, it was owned by someone near Keyser, WV.

4.10 gears 4x4
E4OD
7.3 Power Stroke

Centaurus III custom packge includes
Custom overhead console, windshield to rear glass.
Built in CB and radar detector
4 recessed reading lights
Indirect strip lighting on both sides of the overhead, with matching strips over both doors, Maple wood
Headphone jacks with volume control or speaker output for the TV/VCP in the console between the seats.
Switches up front to turn everything on and off.

Leather and fabric upolstery
Carpet
Power rear slider window
Power windows and door locks
Tilt wheel
Cruise control
12 disc CD player remote mounted behind the rear seat, with remote control.
Automatic front hubs, floor shift transfer case.

The outside you can see in the pictures.

Snyders is in Harrisonburg, and I just about fell over at the condition and price they were asking with it in that condition.

Down side, it did have a fifth wheel installed, and I think all it ever did was tow the fifth wheel RV.
When they removed the fifth wheel and brake controller, a few extra wires were cut and a few fuses blown.
So all of the overhead did not work, until yesterday.
Unfortunately with the digital conversion, off the air TV does not work, but the VCP does, again with remote control, even came with Jurassic Park Lost World tape in the VCP.

First tank of fuel, 16 MPG apparent fuel mileage.

I can not believe it don't have remote door locks, it has everything else.

Yes if I can get away I will be in Carlilse this fall, should be an easy and comfortable cruise in that ride.
Just need two acres to park it in.

Sorry I kept you in suspense so long, I was working on getting everything working and figured out before you asked questions I did not know the answers to.

Looks like a fun ride with lots of goodies!

I thought that was Snyder's in the 'burg.

I used to work with a guy that had a dually F350 PSD about the same model year, with some sort of Centaurus package on it. Pretty nice setup!

It was nice with the built in radar detector when I ran 19 down to Beckley last weekend.

Fayetteville had speedtraps set up at both ends of the 50 MPH speed zone, never did see the cars with radar in them, but I sure did see the very busy chase cars.

That section is as bad as Summersville. But, I suppose they need to generate funds somehow.

Summersville is BAD! I used to travel through there weekly on my way to/from Montgomery.

Scroll down to WV on this page and see what the worst place in WV is....

and here too...

As late as 2007, the National Motorists Association ranked Summersville as the worst speed trap in the state of West Virginia.
