the ol tractor....

well i parted with the tractor today, kind of a sad day but i couldn't pass up the deal that was offered on it. i have seen that 1st gen guys are a lot tighter as a group than any other group of dodge guys so i'm hoping i won't be shamed out of the 1st gen family. i'm sure there will be another one show up in my driveway sooner or later. just wanted to take the time to say thanks to everyone that help make the tractor what she is and thank everyone who complimeneted me on her. i'll be picking up a 04 reg cab 3/4 ton strip down to start all over with. good luck to everyone with their 1st gens. i'll be stopping by to check on everyone. thanks again everyone

Those Common Rails really scoot. My brothers '03 is a blast to drive, but it also has a full billet tranny. I wouldn't trade him though. I hate electronics.
