Diesel Bombers - New old guy

Ok Guys
The message bar says I have been a member for at least 5 days now and it won't go away till I make post. Funny message Bar . I really have enjoyed just reading what you guys have to say about these things. Bought this truck from my Son in law in 2006 with 65,000 miles on it and being this is my first Diesel I hope they last a long time as I am getting up there in age its probably my last truck as its only used to run to Walmart once or twice a week.
I like the power just fine as is but is there really ever too much power?
After I get everything installed and get the baselines I plan to do some of the mods you guys are up to.

Thanks for letting me be a part of this tribe
