Saturday, October 19, 2002 will be a day I will remember for a long time. That was the day I bought my first Dodge CTD. Body is white with the silver on the side and the clear coat paint. It has CTD of course and 5 speed transmission, 4X4, club cab and long box. It is the LE with all the options, even power mirror's. It has that BIG chrome grill, bumper's and mirror's. My baby's a real looker. I'm the second owner and it only has 200,000 Km's or 120,000 mile's. The original owner traded it in on a brand new one (lucky s.o.b.) and it was on our 5 star Chrysler dealer lot for only two days and I grabbed it.
Paid too much at $16,000.00 Canadian, but they a hard to come by up here. I have been looking for almost a year now. They were asking $19,000,00 for it.
First question is about rpm's; what is the best rpm to drive at to get the best air flow threw the turbo to get max boost, best performance and cooling for my CTD. I was reading about how the governor will stop it from over revving and my truck seems to max out at about 2500, to 2800. Is this normal? My truck is stock. That is another reason I bought it. Now I can do the mod's I want and not have some other's I might not need.
Thing's to check on this old war horse is another question I would like to ask? It has a new exhaust from the muffler back, No it's not a Bank's 4 inch. The front end has a lot off new parts including new seal in the steering box. I guess I have rambled enough here, any way glad to join the Frat and hope be along time member of TDR. Great web site, eh!
