Oh please. I was referring to the 2500/3500 trucks specifically, but still. I didn't say "none", either.

No front air dam. No underbody panels whatsoever. No wheel spats. No front grill...

Well it's too bad that photobucket stole all my pics from this thread (and many others).

But I still have the 2500HD. Probably never getting rid of this beast, it's just too good and new truck...

Thanks. Unfortunately I sold the car last November as some major maintenance items due near, and I just wanted to move on.

More about the truck.

Did I really need a 2500HD? No, I'll be honest, probably not (though towing my tractor/cars/equipment rentals is going to be more comfortable). But what I really did need, was a rust-free,...

Not so much an introduction for me, as a resurrection.

COcycler, thanks. I am impressed with your pump-duese fuel economy! I'm guessing you are a patient driver. You've got some nice mods, too.
