Just kind of getting back on the forums here in the past few days and never really talked about getting my new (to me) truck.
We gout our Cyclone 3110 back in Feb of last year and towed with our 2004 F-250 for over a year with it. I had put on air bags and upgraded shocks it did ok but I really wanted a dually.
Then last winter I really started having some weird issues with 'ol blue. If it was below 40 it would not start unless the block heater was plugged up. Had it checked by several good diesel mechanics, the best two I know actually that work on our Fire Trucks, and no one could figure out why.
So I had enough and got rid of it. I gave full disclosure to the new owner that bought it from me and he was confident he would figure it out. I told him to keep it plugged up this coming winter just in case...
I found a really nice 2010 Ram, 2500 Bighorn edition up the road in Ashland VA, we struck a deal and I've been loving it ever since. I installed a B&W companion hitch in it and love it. I added some LED's in the bed for night hookups and such and that turned out really good. Towing with Bart (that's what we named him which stands for Big *** Ram Truck is sheer joy. Our first big trip was to Blacksburg VA up in the Blue Ridge mountains for my sons orientation at Virginia Tech. Going up and over Afton mountain was a breeze and Bart yanked that Cyclone up there and was happy doing it! He was like this is what I'm made for!!!
It is like night and day from that old F-250 to Bart. Glad our budget finally allowed it.
