Ugh, agree about the Powerstroke. Noisiest diesel truck there is. Can't stand 'em.

Horsepower is loud.

None of mine ever rattled apart. Ive got one with over 500k on it. Only thing that's ever been changed is the injection pump, and the oil.

Most dodges around here have 10 inch stacks and smoke black for 5 miles pulling out of every red light. I laugh at all of them cause they think its cool but it looks and sounds like sh*t.

I do like diesels for the longevity factor, but I still prefer gas motors. I have an 03 dodge that has a 4.7. 5 speed and anyone who knows how a 4.7 sounds with a rotted muffler knows they sound mean

I do have a gmc with the 6.2 diesel and it may take half a can of ether and two heavy duty tractor batteries to get her to fire but she runs like a watch. Even after 366k miles on it.


Back to topic. Check out Kaufman trailers. They are a good quality trailer at a good price. Factory direct but certain models they will deliver to your door. I just ordered a 77" X 14ft single axle landscape trailer from them.

It's a new fad that's started, making your truck "roll coal". Conversely, there's a guy my friend works with who's got a build Dodge Diesel that has more torque and power than should be legally allowed on the streets

Theres a kid in my town that has stacks that have to be 24" diameter and the funny part is you can see that its only 4" pipe until it get above the bed then bells out, its probably the stupidest looking thing ive ever seen.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
