2. Thanks! LMFAO!! People are awesome.....

This is a little random, but when can we expect a first drive review of the new 2010 Dodge Ram HD?? I just read "Pickuptrucks.com's" review and the new Ram sounds awesome! Im really excited about it. Im gonna have to think about it vs. the new Super Duty for my next truck.

Thanks again.

3. The March or April issue should have a little something on the ’10 Ram. We're getting one in a few weeks...

5. Also, is the 02 Ram 24-valve Cummins dually that Scheid diesel worked on a complete project or will we see more of it. It one of my fav's and such a clean looking truck. Sry for the 20 questions in advance...

6. Yes, Project 24-valve will return. This winter we plan to do an intake elbow and exhaust manifold. In the spring we are looking into head studs, trying some different programming, and disabling the wastegate on the dyno (shooting for 500-ish hp daily driver/tow vehicle).

The March issue will also feature Project 24-valve blasting through the mud! Toyo was kind enough to let us try out 6 of its Open Country M/T's, and we put them to the test!

7. Looking forward to it "Mike's Mud Shots" are sweet (could be a new segment in the mag?). South Bend Clutch's 4BT powered mud rail was Mike's handiwork. Did you need a tractor to get the truck out? Did the tractor get stuck? I'm sure something happened it always does in the mud. Is Fall mud different from spring mud?

8. The mud shots look pretty cool so far. I still have to take some of my Ford hitting the impromptu mud hole though.

No tractor was needed for Project 24-valve, but we got close to needing one a few times.

Fall mud is colder, and with all the rain there is plenty of it right now around these parts. We don't have any specific name for our dark brown mud, but over in Missouri they call theirs "stick."
