Sorry, double post
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

I found it at the Ford Dealer when it was new. Sorry,not trying to be sarcastic, but I only use the TV to pull my 5er.

rowekmr,
The Volvo is registered in Montana as a MH so has to have a 'frige, microwave and porta-pottie in back. That allows an AZ driver to avoid having a CDL and stopping at weight stations, log book, etc. This was not a big deal and there is lots of info out there about how to get it done. This particular truck has had the front tandem axel removed and the rear moved forward but that was only to reduce the number of tires on the ground and is not absolutely necessary. "T-Ruk" has 375/425hp (425 when in cruise to encourage its use for fuel mileage) and 1550ft torque. The trans is a Super 10 which has two gears in each position. I had never driven anything like that before but a couple of hours and I was float shifting like a pro - well, almost.
We get 9.0 - 9.5 bobtailing and 8.5 average towing our 39' toy hauler. If you would like more info, check here:
(Well, I was going to give you the Escapees forum url FOR hdt'S BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT CLICKABLE http://escapees.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/frm/f/353102588 )
These guys are very knowledgable and willing to help with or share that knowledge.
Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway.

I just traded in my 2005 GMC 2500HD Extended Cab Short Box with the 6.0 V8, 4.10 rear end. This new one is a 2006 GMC 2500HD Crew Cab short box with the LBZ Duramax Diesel. Its got every option except the sunroof.
A couple pics. The first pic is fresh off the dealer lot. The second and third pics you can see the ICI chrome oval step bars that I had installed, the contour mud flaps, my advertising of course, and my Fold-a-Cover from my old truck.

Nice Travelstar Thumper, used to have a 18SD back when they first came out and really loved it, could take it a lot of places I don't dare take my current setup. Great state you live in to I might add. Sshh, did I say that, don't want anyone else finding out.
