But then I couldn't ease to the coast like I've enjoyed thus far.

There'll always be a quicker truck.
Yep, just lots of fun having one that gets with it. Its been a while since we've had my '90 model out just running. Amazing how she feels with no trailer or load on 'er. lol She was the first to receive a Mt. Diesel Hot rod pump and, at the time, probably marine injectors. Hottest truck I ever drove. ...especially before I purchased the Banks intercooler stuff.

...and I was thinking the other day, of course the odometer is inoperable, but, I would guess since I've owned this old truck (1996) I would say she has a least 400K miles with that mild 300HP set up.
