I can bet I have one of the oldest by model year! With all that I have done to the truck to gain more torque and hp and have extreme reliability, why bother with a $700 amonth truck payment.

Here is my 04 2500 Cummins, I've installed rear airbags w/a onboard air compressor, stainless turbo-back MBRP exhaust, S&B air intake, Predator tuner, removed the silencer ring from the turbo, with the exception of the hub caps and the front grill she is de-badged, 15K fifth-wheel hitch w/a bed-mounted trailer plug, front windows tinted to match rears, roof clearance lights, and a Cobra 29 WX NW with bluetooth.

She's not very clean right now but I plan to get to that later this week.

Yes sir these are Dick Cepek's DC-1's
in 18" (305-70-18)

I am thinking of going with a 22" rim so I can tuck the rim's back under the fender well's but not sure if they will clear the Tie Rod end since the stock 20's hit the Tie Rod End when I tried to go back to stock rims - If I knew the Fabtech Lift was going to cause this issue I would have waited and bought a diffrent lift because with 4.5" of back space the tires stick way out past the fender and cause my turning radius to be greatly reduced

You pulling that big Vengeance with a 6.2L? Let us know how it does. I know the 6.2L properly equipped is supposed to be good, but I am curious.

Sorry, I updated out sig to show the TV details. The TV is a 2011 F250 diesel and while we've not dragged the new toy hauler up north yet, I'm pretty sure it'll do fine. Details when I get 'em...

P.S. I took the 6.7 powerstroke emblems off the doors the week I got the truck. They looked like big chrome warts.
