I love how well it handles a big @ss load of firewood. And That it flat out scoots when you put the hammer down. Oh yea and how my boss is always complaining about his 6.0 ford and how he would just like to get a cummins.

What I love about my first gen's is how they have taught me how to fix every single thing on a vehicle there is besides the motor if it was a duramax or powerstroke you woulda gave up on it because you know you'd have to rebuild it!!!

i love how when i test drove mine i got a second gear scratch, and third i love how if i even toutch the ignition that it fires right up, i love hearing the turbo whistle when i light it up, i love how the gear shift vibrates when i got my foot in it, i love how i can run the **** out of my buddies stroked 350 s10 when im only in 4th gear. i love how i have repeditvly had to pull my step dads gmc out of the back pasture when his truck aint got enough grunt to pull a good load of fire wood out of our field i love how it has the aerodynamic styling of a brick, and looks like it could whip a mack trucks a$$.

the fact that vehicles crash in intersections while looking at it trying to turn, the simplicity of the entire thing....and that filthy diesel smoke.

I love how the lights dim on and off with the cycling of the grid heaters for a couple minutes, the heavy 12v crank and massive connecting rods, the hugh and somewhat over done DODGE word across 91.5 to 93 tail gates, how the truck shakes on motor shut down, the obnoxious and loud factory buzzer on start up
