[Grizzly]

I was out doing my morning walk today when I saw an acquaintance and neighbor who owns a hot air balloon called, "Smokey", which is very well known and liked at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. I asked him how he liked his new Chevy 3500 Dually. He said the new Chevy, which has a Duramax, is great, as long as he doesn't tow his 5th wheel. He has an enclosed 5th wheel to transport his balloon and gondola to other balloon shows. He said it lacks power for towing. Prior to the Chevy he had two Furd Powerjokes. He said the engines were so bad that they were always at the dealers getting worked on. He decided that Dodge Cummins has got to be the way to go. He knows that's what I have. He knows of the legendary Cummins but wanted to know how I liked the truck. I told him I loved it and told him why. He added that his Chevy really needs an exhaust brake. I told him the Dodge has one as standard equipped.
