Those diesl trucks can be made damn fast for a fair price ...I like dodge , but like auatmatics ,and wouldn't touch a heavy duty diesel with a chrysler transmission behind the mill .

Ahh, very nice truck mackman. I want to get a set of stacks but I can't because of my sled deck... I'm straight piped although with a BTS tranmission, dynatrac/warn hub kit and and some other goodies... gotta have the toys!

I had 1994 HP 60 under my last Jeep with an upgraded set of knuckles /300m shafts /and hub conversion /35 spline stb shafts to match the inner 35 spline shafts . Next build I will not use a Ball jointed axle ,And will get an older King Pin style axle I figure either a Dana 60 or upsize to a Dana 70 .
