Matt Cheely Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Working for Detroit Diesel has it's perks at times... And the best part is that I'm still sitting in the truck, in Colorado headed to Utah down I-70, with my Verison card surfing BE.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 That's the shizzle. Last time I made that trip, I wasn't old enough to drive. I took a rubics cube along to get me through the corn states. The view in the Rockies is just awesome. Thanks for posting. (more please) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Cheely Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Actually... I will be in Vegas tomorrow night and then Laughlin for the rest of the week, and back to Vegas to spend the weekend with the G/F. Those pictures were from Loveland pass, we do lots of high altitude testing around there. I'll pick out a few more pics later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3GunF1Guy Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 It is a great drive. But man is it slow. When we go from SLC to Denver it is faster to take I-80. Its ugly across Wyoming but fast. I always ask the passengers if they want the pretty drive or the fast drive. I'll bet driving a tractor up that hill is slow. Are you just driving a truck or are pulling a trailer also?

These aren't pansy calibrations either, we're talking 560hp and 1850ft/lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Orr Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) we're talking 560hp and 1850ft/lbs. Will one of those fit in my Ford PS...? Edited July 15, 2008 by Merlin Orr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 we're talking 560hp and 1850ft/lbs. Will one of those fit in my Ford PS...? No, but if you buy a Dodge you can get some big power out of them without spending a fortune. Mine is 450/900 in daily driver mode, wtih 228K on it I have been getting 21 mpg on the highway lately too...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
