Excellent choice! I had one of those and it was really a fabulous truck. Mine was an auto and we towed with it multiple times and did just fine. I think you'll be quite thrilled.

You running an AF Canyon trail?
Cool, I just figured AF would give your Cummins a test
FYI, (I'm not the guy keeping official track of it, but...) it looks like you got Constrictor for the convention.
Oh and I didn't see you're mpg edit... my last trip to Moab with a bone stock 24v '98 dually/auto with 9k in tow saw me 11.5 mpg doing 65~75 most of the way... I got the same milage in both directions

Thats a real good lookin' truck, congrats! It's going to pull like a dream, our '03 may be a bit problematic, but one thing it does well is pull a trailer. The brakes on the newest model Dodge are great too, you're going to be pleased the first time you tow with it.

AF would have been a good test. Believe it or not I towed the Jeep and 16FT car hauler to AF, Moab and Johnson Valley with the Dakota.
Thanks for letting me know which trail I am running. I would have registered by the 15th if I wasn't waiting to find if the girl friend wanted to go. I have a friend going with me. It should be a blast and the first time for me to attend.
Yeah AF is a lot steeper than most people think.... with that 9k in tow I couldn't keep the torque converter locked in 3rd gear from the cave to the power inlet dam.... when it was stock that is, with the chip on #2 it's no problem now.
I'll be on Con for one of the runs, don't know which I'll be on (or you for that matter)

Nice truck, that would be pretty easy to live with. Is that the 555 or the 600? I almost bought one ('05) but I chose to get a 3rd row of seats instead.

I thought they went from the 600 to the 610 in '05. They both put out 325 HP but the torque went from 600 to 610. I looked at the data plate and didn't see any 555, 600, or 610 any where on it so I am not sure.

It would have been a Ford if not the Dodge. I would have looked for a 2003 or older with 7.3 though. I agree with the comfort of the GMC and you can't beat the Allison trans but they are not for me.
