Here's mine.
2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega-Cab 4wd with Diesel.
It does not have a lift, just larger tires with front leveling kit to get the height.

96 F-450 7.3 Liter Turbo Diesel. May be a little overkill, but there is nothing better than diesel.

Re: Tow Vehicles

No its the 5.9L, I did not mess with tried and true for something new.:)
You got an early one then.
Later in the production year they went to the 6.7L
That's what I have and love it.
No need for chips in it.:eek:

I did not install the chip for power as I drove both at the dealer and could not notice any real difference between them but the chip did increase mpg allot. Of course had to check out the increase in power once and I really have to be careful because it will spin up both tires from a dead stop with out thinking. Glad you like yours.:)

Re: Tow Vehicles

I'll try and post up a picture too. I've not had much luck with it, but wooster left pretty simple instructions.

However, I could probably figure out a way to screw up a one car parade.
