Just picked up the trailer 2 weeks ago, the first time the truck has ever seen snow and the first time I've towed a 5th wheel period. It was a rough trip home to say the least but we finally made it.

It's a 1998 2500 CTD Quad Cab Sport 5-speed 12 valve with 130K miles on it. The truck is pushing about 375 HP with a 4K RPM governor spring kit, BHAF, custom fuel plate and 16 degrees of timing. I ended up replacing the clutch with a Southbend OFE and buying a rebuilt NV4500 on the trip home after things went very wrong due to a tail seal leak.

I purchased a 2006 Work & Play 38FK. I'm running a 16K Superglide 5th wheel hitch and Firestone helper bags in the rear of the truck.

I use www.flickr.com

create an account, upload your pic, It gives you option for public or private pic, click public, name it and save it, then click on the pic you just uploaded, just above the pic you are viewing it will say "all sizes" click on all sizes, then click medium, then scroll just below the pic, you will see "2. Grab the photo's URL:" copy that link link and paste, then in your post here click on the yellow mountain icon that says "image" then paste your pic link under where it says"Enter the complete URL for the image." then post your message and your pic will appear like this
hope that helps

Here's my new (to me) ride. A 2000 Suburban LT, 5.3 Vortec V-8, 3.73 RAR (considering changing to a 4.10) I don't have any interior shots yet. I'll post some when I can.

Been wanting a Suburban for a long time. With 3 kids the extended cab pick ups weren't going to work for us. 3 kids crammed that tightly for an extended trip? No thanks, brother!

My DW and I came across this little number on New Year's Eve, and now it's sitting in my garage! Lots better then the Windstar that it replaced. Plus, now I don't have to borrow my Dad's Explorer to haul my pop up when I want to go camping! Also, we're looking at getting a larger HTT in the very near future (maybe next weekend!) and this should handle the task just fine.

But the best thing of all is it's completely paid for!
