Re: Backyard Cummins

In case you haven't noticed from the previous pictures, the truck has moved to the driveway. I wanted to wait to give reviews on my multiple test drives until now. I have been having too much fun to even think about taking videos.

This truck kicks ass! It has more power than it knows what to do with. With no bed to add weight over the rear tires, it will break the tires loose in 3rd gear while moving down the road. I have never owned a diesel, and am amazed at how freaking fast this thing is. It does not care what gear you are in, you will shortly be pinned to the seat. I still have tons of tuning to do, but for a few preliminary drives around the neighborhood I am more than satisfied. A huge plus for me is the low 1st gear, followed up by 4 really tall gears when you actually want to get moving.

PICS: At the pump, and a temporary bed to hold me over until i find a real one...
