Exile Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Low mileage, hard use. Should be an adventure. less than 200k on chassis, but cab looks like last three wars were fought in it. 12.7l detroit, 8LL, and omg 4.88s. Plenty of power in top gear, but not much speed. Now to squeeze all required items into a 36” sleeper. attempted link to photo below. anyone need a one line wet kit? 98 379 with 12.7 DD LG Dodge w/5.9 CTD Chrome habit I’m trying to kick.

Exile Posted November 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Thanks all, have learned a lot from you all already, and I expect to ask a lot of questions. already had 40 gals of fuel stolen, and have owned the truck 4 weeks. Off to a good start, costs money even when I don’t buy anything :-0 98 379 with 12.7 DD LG Dodge w/5.9 CTD Chrome habit I’m trying to kick.
