Well --- these plans were laid before this latest diagnosis..... but the Dually is the haul master choice for the 40' InTech gooseneck trailer I have designed so I could travel the USA for 2019 and run NASA TTU group races with the new car.

The car is being built - the truck is built - the trailer is on "hold" until I see my next set of scans etc.

The sweet little 6.2 liter Chevy HighCountry was sold.

Greg, did you get the sweet suspension work you were talking about done on the new Dually already?

I did Lance!!

Ford drop shipped it straight to Kelderman in Iowa..... They installed the full Rear and Front air system for the F-450..... and then Apple Ford picked it up and shipped it to me -- truck had 69 miles on it when it was dropped in my driveway.

I dare say --- the 450 rides every bit as smooth and quiet as my half ton HighCountry! I'm so impressed it's unreal. Gwen has put 600 miles on the truck now.... and actually is also impressed!

Their stuff seems really inexpensive compared to the dramatic change it makes.

Dude ---- the Kelderman suspension stuff on this F-450 is A M A Z I N G !!! Just friggin' WOW! Empty - the truck rides like my little half ton Chevy did. Just so worth the $$$$ and it IS expensive stuff! But think about every mile you drive in pleasure ---- or bouncing down the road. I'll take pleasure!
