Time to thank a few forum members

I wanted to thank some members for all there help to get me to where my D is today. Some of you did the initial experimenting to to allow us to get where I am today.
Technic- For his expertise in audio. Speaker recommendations and his Amp cable.
Andrew- For his JR auto tune, Stage 2 race. EGR race pipe.
Iaknown Dave- Turbo back exhaust.
Quikdzl Tommy- Air bags rear coil springs.
BB cuda Mark- U haul trailer hitch.

I know I am missing many more that have help me make decisions and installation of these many modifications over the years.

I just got back from upstate N.H. from south east PA using my NEW beast of a towing machine. As Quikdzl posted in a thread "got rid of my truck". I have done the same. This beast of a car just walks up the mountains like nothing. Far as fuel economy. 24.5 mpg round trip. Compared to my truck of maybe 12 mpg! One concern I had was transmission temps. Did not seem to be an issue. I monitored with carly and never got above 200 deg. Below are a few pics of my D towing and rear coil bags installed

Love the towing pic. I want to get a hitch installed as well but hate the sight of them from the rear. You're also not too far from me

OK, that does it. I need one less vehicle for hauling stuff and just a parking space for a trailer. Now, if someone would make a convertible conversion ...
