My dear friend Andrew is a total Diesel man  He can fix them when others can't  

I drive his black trucks  (1 reg cab 1 cab1/2 ) with 6.6 Duramax in them with 5 speed Allisons and straight pipes  and they PULL like a freight train  

We took a original paint 66 Malibu wagon to Moncton last year    18 hours straight  75-80 mph  22 mpg

I still love gassers   but the Diesels are another area of performance enthusiasm     

There a  Dodge sedan (about 1952?) in Moncton  with 1400 hp Cummings in it    lots of fun

 This is it. I saw and took pictures of it in Shediac at Paul's garage. Very cool car, and Paul has a lot of other nice stuff!

That is a great engine for that big Chief! What a cool car. I would add a few layers of Dyna mat to the firewall to dull the Cummins rattler so I could use it for long hauls without going Diesel Deaf.
I've had 3 Dodge Rams with Cummins and love those engines, but in my old age the noise gets irritating after a few hours behind the wheel!
Perfect match that will probably outlast just about anything on the road.

Agreed. My brother in law has a 2004 Dually with a 5.9/6 speed manual. It has 450000k on it and looks/runs like new.
I do miss working at the Chrysler dealer and being around these trucks.
