Didn't Curtis Debord do a Cummins in a 2.5 ton several years ago? I remember
it sold on this list to a guy up in Chicago or northern Indiana?.

I remember Curtis telling me that the big plus was not so much the speed
which climbed to a strong upper 60 to 70 MPH but the fact that in the
mountains.....it held that speed...up and down .....he really liked that.

He told me it was pretty much a drop in.....no brainier.

I am sure I could get him to post exactly what he did......
