Did anyone read the new issue of some diesel magazine, not sure of the name, I just started reading into diesel trucks. The one truck, it was a Ford, they had on the cover was pushing just over 90PSI 
I couldn't believe it, and I was looking at the F-650 truck from Ford, that thing is nuts.

Hold on, im still going "my God..." to the 2000 ft. lbs duramax...
Roasting tires that weigh as much as small people, in 4wd, at 65 mph.
I don't even wanna think about the traction issues for 4-Lo, I'll need to change pants.

Well, its not like your truck was stock. Get to upgrading the Caddy. Don't C any reason not to get under the 13 mark!
The IRS can be problematic. Good luck w the project. I'm jellous (sp?)!
Take the Caddy road racing. Pretty sure it would devistate the truck on a road course. You'll get more track time, and the IRS will probly live!

There is a story in the kill section over at SVTP (if you can stomach going over there) right now about a diesel truck taking down a late model T/A...The guy claims around 1200 ftlbs. Could be an intersting read for some.
