So tell us how is your truck holding up, and why are you considering the CTD?

I've never owned a diesel and what what I've been reading, you can make some crazy power with just a few mods, make it faster than a Hemi Ram and get better mpg to boot. Who wouldn't want that? It probably won't happen though, just thinking.

Best part is, i get just over 20mpg AROUND TOWN!!!!!! On the highway it seems to be 21-23, depending on the additive i use in that tank. Milage could be better than that even, but i dont have an OD.

Intake stuff shipped out on Friday, I haven't received it yet. I'll snap some photos of whatever they send me and post them.
As for an overview of my Dodge, its a great truck. Seems a little better built than the GMC I replaced, and it moves quite well for a big *** truck. I've got about 29K miles on it in less than a year, and have had no problems with it. Towing with this thing is just awesome! Right now I'm averaging about 14.9 mpg mixed city/highway driving. On the interstate it pulls down 17-18 mpg when cruising 75 or so. Gets about 14 mpg when towing my open car hauler with a 3400 lb f-body on it.

I have a 2005 2500 4x4 with the cummins. It has pretty good power stock if you want a fast diesel, however, stock for stock a chevy will beat it. I raced my brothers 2004 hemi quad cab when mine was stock and he beat me easily by a few lengths. I bought a quadzilla xzt box and an aeroturbine exhaust shortly after. We raced the other day and i put 2 lengths on him up to 85. I would seriously look at the 06.5 chevy model whenever it comes out. They are upping the power quite a bit and dodge is supposed to do the same with the 07 model.
