Default Just to let you all know...

After being back on the east coast since July, I'm back! Got in Sat night around 1am, and glad to be back. Being home on leave inbetween here was a blast, but it's just nice to be back out to my house and sleep in my bed. Wasn't too bad a trip back, ran into a lot of frozen snow/ice on the roads in areas from South Dakota to Idaho. Seen a low of -3F driving thru Montana. Woke up Sat morning in Sheridan, WY and it was 2F out. Truck started like it was 40 degrees tho, I am so happy with my new truck, it's just awesome. Pulls the t/a like it's not even there, even at 75 up some of the mountains that weren't icy you just heard the turbo come on up and just ran happy. So quiet and smooth too, you'd never know it's a Dodge, HAHA! Hopefully I'll be able to make all the races this year, being that I'm now on shore duty and never going to sea again! Car has ran flawlessly for me too, went from Ohio to VA to SC to FL, then all the way to San Antonio, TX and back to OH. Was about 4500 miles in 2 1/2 weeks and car ran just perfect, with an overall average of about 23mpg, with a high of 25. Absolutely wonderful. Now I just see if I can get into the 11.0's without blowing it up. Anyhoo, just figured I'd let everbody else know I'm back and look forward to seeing everybody again. Have a good one!

Glad to see you home!

My truck is in the shop. having a start issue when hot. probably injectors. good thing it had 100K engine warranty and 200k on injectors

I am jealous how nice your car runs. I need to get an exhaust back on mine. with just the race setup it sounds nasty till 3,500 and is just happy as can be at 6,000. NOT good for street driving

Good to see you back man!
