[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3175742, member: 15054"] Heading home today and 1/2 a bed of Locust fire wood in my 47 dodge truck. Some guy behind me in a say 2004 or so chevy flat bed work truck with single wheels in the back but a turbo that is loud is on my tail. HHHMMM . I see him roll coal out the pipe and I nail it ... First gear is done I grab second and he is gaining on me..second gear is done a few seconds later and he is on my tail .... I grab third gear and in that for a couple seconds and this coal roller eases on past me. WOW!! that truck runs GOOD! That is what I told him when we slowed down and could hear each other speak. He said he liked my truck, I said I liked his and man it runs. He said you do not want to know how much money I have tied up in this truck! And he said it weighs about 8000 lbs. YEOW! He said larger Turbo and larger injectors and beefed up transmission and much more. Yea I felt under gunned with my old school 350" chevy with cast flat tops and ported GM iron heads and 3.25 rear gears. We went from a slow roll and I got my doors back he nailed it first and then I hit it and pulled 4 lengths on him instantly. You do not get those back until after highway speed limits are reached. Respect for you diesel guys for sure tonight. :) Darn heavy firewood, makes me think I should have stuck one of my BBC engines in the truck. I mocked it up for the BBC when I built it so no issues on fitment. Fun stuff. [/QUOTE]
