I normally don't care for the "wet primer" gray but it actually looks good on there, nice upgrade! Standard Cummins or the HO/Aisin?
Me and the kids have had a thing for Nardo gray for a while. Ram calls it Ceramic gray.
There is no std/HO/68/Aisin anymore. All HO with 8speed ZF trans. 3.42 only gears.
Med duty Powerline not 8HP but it drives and shift like a 8HP. Like butter!

OHHHHHH you drank the "Dave Smith" Koolaid........they didn't "give" that away!!!!.......good lookin' tho
No koolaid here. Best overall price between WA, OR, ID and UT dealers. Coulda done $3k better with WA resident incentives but couldn’t title it in MT with my son if I bought in WA.
Overall it was the best deal by far (including lack of sales tax).
I hate dealing with car dealers in general and there was ZERO bs.
1 haggle on price ahead of time, and about 1.5 hours at the dealer. And it was literally 0 miles out to the way.
Picked it up and ripped it to Missoula and back at 100mph.

Ah ok, I knew that change was coming but didn't know if it was already in play. Bet that thing's a beast! I LOVED the 8HP in my Hemi, I wanna drive that version behind the Cummins now. Our Cummins is just the std/6-speed. Any upgrades planned? I can't read the tailgate, I assume by the headlights it's at least a Laramie?

2020 Road Glide special 114. Daily driver status and when it’s icy/snow or beyond cold. I’ve got a 2021 Kia Sorento(kids at college and she left it at home lol) or the wife’s ‘25 Kia k5.

My 74 c10 is getting into the shop to be tinkered on and made reliable for daily driver duty

No it’s a low option Bighorn with night package. ( black emblems and wheels)
It’s just smooth. Engine feels the same as 4th gen deleted SO with a tune. Hard to tell it’s fast because there’s no fanfare and little noise.

My daughter has a '17. Been a pretty good car. I've done brakes, tires, replaced washer motor, TB cleaning, oil changes, r/r door handle (that was a bytch). Plugs are due for service but I haven't got the motivation to dig into that. I don't like the sealed transmission I can't service though. It likes to go through rear bulbs a lot. She just broke 100K on it.

On the way to work this morning, we decided that the office wasn't where we needed to be just after getting onto I-5...where there's a giant hill.

Saved and drug home by a buddy, I'm sure we were a sight to be seen going down the road.

Hoping its just the fuel pump.
Pulled the main supply from the tank off the pump and it gravity fed all over my hand, so I know that ain't plugged.
We shall see after work...

My brother in law's old '74 used to have the fuel pump fail several times a year. Iirc, the pin would come out of the lever or something. It's been too long, I don't exactly remember.
