My sincere CONGRATULATIONS to Lloyd Mills, as his "rocketship" (2005 Dodge CTD CR) is featured in the May 2008 Issue of "Diesel World."

In the May 2008 Issue of "Diesel World", they have done a write-up on the "Fall Brawl" Event where Lloyd and Tim Barber took top honors on the dyno. In that write-up, they did a real nice write-up on Lloyd's Truck with color pictures of the truck itself and the engine. Also, their Editor, Tu-Do Nguyen, wrote some very nice comments about Lloyd, which I agree 100% with! Mr Nguyen said and I quote; "Every diesel owner I spoke with had something positive to say about Lloyd!" That is a fact, as Lloyd is all that and more. It also again shows me that the entire Staff at "Diesel World" continues to do a GREAT job of covering our sport! Thanks "Diesel World!"

Lloyd, let me the first to tell you how happy I was to see the write-up on you and your truck!! You deserve it buddy.

I dont know what part of the ride was better. The tires breaking loose at 70mph befor the carnage
or the front end of the tow truck not making its mind up if it was going up or staying down over little bumps in the road.

"Dont worry Lloyd it will only go back so far" LOL

Lloyd, great article on the rig.
Bummer about the tranny, but Kudos to you for not caring enough to post the pics of the breakdown. Many wouldn't take that so well (myself included) to be able to lightheartedly post those pics.
So, good job all around, hope it's back and running for the Spring Fling.

They will not hold 800hp if you use it all the time.Greg seems to think it is the builder though.Time will tell.:pop:Better get a Bruno or if you gotta clutch it a Linco.:evil
