| First Trip in the Dodge Ram |
These are from the first trip in the truck - and woman was that diesel FUN to DRIVE! The trip was at the end of Feb, Beg of march of 2004.
The drive was from Santa Rosa to Palm Springs and back. Both ways I took US395. Handled the mountain grades great - never needed to leave overdrive or nothing. No lockup though, so it did slip a lot when you hid a grade, and start slowing down, with the Cummins pegged at the same RPM - just STATIC there. I would have to spin it to 2000 rpm to keep up 65/70 (normally only 1800 or so - 1500 is about 55). Rear is 3.54 and tires are 34 inches tall. But the TC slips a lot. I will probably leave OD just for the trannys wellbeing, and have the cummins \"daydreaming about doing something else.\" |
