Biggest, fastest & baddest pilot car in the land

Runs low 15s at over 90 MPH with the light bar & sign rack. Not bad considering this thing weighs over 9000 pounds, has the aerodynamics of a barn & the turning radius of a small battleship.

Loaded up for a day of off-roading and exploring the local mountains. Yes, I DO use my MAN STEP so UP YOURS HOWIE LONG!!! It takes a REAL MAN to drive a truck like this which is something pink-panty wearing Mr. Long obviously knows nothing about. Remember, BOWTIES ARE FOR LITTLE BOYS!

Running a Sinister Diesel EGR delete, Turbonetics 62MM non-vgt ball bearing turbo, MBRP 5" exhaust, 4" downpipe, FASS fuel system, SCT tuner with Elite Diesel Engineering fuel/trans tunes & a Misihimoto aluminum radiator. Has over 250,000 miles on it, is NOT studded yet nor have the injectors been touched, and has been by far & away the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Knock on wood, but has NEVER failed to start or left me stranded. So all you 6-oh naysayers stick that one up your pipe. I do believe it takes a special way of thinking to understand what these motors like and in my opinion, the best thing you can do is keep the morons at the dealers out from under your hood and DITCH THAT FACTORY VGT TURBO! Aside from localized overheating which will kill any engine, excessive backpressure (and trapped heat as a byproduct) is a huge contributing factor to these things blowing head gaskets & the factory turbo produces that in abundance! You can also smile as you pass the pump because your mileage will go up & your oil stays cleaner longer.

Had a rockin' day at the strip yesterday, turned a 15.19 with 2.015 60' time, only 88 MPH due to winds but the best ET and 60' it's ever run! 3rd fastest car in the street class out there.

Right on! Great numbers for a heavy vehicle! There were lots of street cars when I was racing that weren't that fast. Don't sweat the MPH, that truck's aero is about a bad as my 55 Chev! It's pushing a lot of wind out of the way. Great looking rig though.
