Hello to all.
Just joined this forum as I have a new to me Dodge with the 6.7 Cummins. I plan to retire as soon as my house is sold and take to the road full time in a travel trailer. I researched all the medium duty trucks, got sticker shock with the new ones, then started to study my options for a diesel, which is the only thing that will serve my needs for full time towing. Price, performance, style, and durability led me to choose Dodge. A lot of that decision was based on the great reputation of the Cummins diesels in the Dodge products over the years. The competition either priced themselves out of my market (GM) or seemed not to be able to settle on a working diesel and keeps changing it every other year or so (Ford).
After some months of following used trucks on the internet and locally, I stumbled on a deal. A not perfect, but not trashed 2007 2500 MegaCab. I had narrowed it down to a Mega to hold more stuff while on the road. My lovely wife and I will be living full time in the truck and trailer, with visits to the kids, and timeshare condos to allow us some room to breathe on occasion.
Now that I have the truck, I am dressing it up with some addons, as well as getting an Edge Juice with Attitude, and trying to line up a Smarty programmer too. The Edge for its ability to tune on the fly and display all the vital data. The Smarty for programming the latest Dodge ECM codes with fixes etc. I might play with the Smarty tunes when I have time to fuss around.
Right now work consumes me.
As for this forum, it really suits me as the folks here are after good mileage, performance for towing etc. There are other forums I joined that seem to be slanted toward racing diesel performance. Still lot's of good info.
So anyone with suggestions to make my towing life easier, please chime in.
