I guess it worked but not sure how to get the pic in the same post.

Perhaps you'll have to edit one of the posts and copy out the url to the other post. Then blank out the other post.

No surprise! They are showing up everywhere, Ambulances wreckers and many other applications. Just a great MD truck.

And you too can have the same Medium Duty 6.7 Cummins engine Medium Duty Aisin Transmission in a RAM 3500 SRW DRW pickup truck.

I do!

Even Fish thinks mine is a 4500! :B

Courtesy of Ford themselves:)...They had to use a 4500 to compete with Ram's 3500 towing numbers, so they just stated that the 3500, in their view was a 4500...so, if Ford said it, it must be true,,,,,And "the" Fisher had the word on passed on to him from a cousin of a friends sisters, brother, whose Aunt heard it from a distant friend in Timbuktu..so, it must be true:)

Almost spot on NC. You forgot the part where the troller weaves the built in Mexico part somewhere into the story.:W

Yeah, I'm waiting for that one, though I've heard it time after time after time....Bet he doesn't do any shopping at Wally World...:)

All too funny and true at the same time.

Fact is the F350 Dully would not pass the SAE J2807 standards. They won't until they step up and build a NEW truck since the SD is basically the same truck since 1999 with some lipstick to try and keep up with the competition. Some day the smoke and mirrors will finally fade away and they will build a new truck that will meet the independent standards they "claim" to meet. The SD was a good platform in 1999, I think they have milked it long enough.

Interesting, especially since its a Hemi and not a diesel.

Ford owns this market with their F450/F550, but I have been seeing more Rams around (ambulance, tow truck, Brinks armored, utility bucket truck). Competition makes everyone better. This is a good thing for everyone.

Funny, this winter we only had a few nights dropping bellow +35 degrees where you are talking negative numbers I have only read about. I think the coldest my 6.0 PSD ever saw was -5 degrees overnight when up in the mountains (that was only once). It didn't complain even though I did not have the block heater plugged in.
