Today's truck was submitted by Chris. His 2006 Chevy Silverado LBZ Duramax 3500HD, Allison 6-speed Automatic was purchased from Larry Fannin Chevrolet.
"I bought my truck to be used as a tow rig for hauling our horses, farm equipment, hay, etc. The truck has performed perfectly with everything that i have hauled, and i couldnt be more happy with the power of it. The initial intent of it being just a work rig didnt last long after i learned how to unleash more power out of my truck. I now also use it as my daily driver/play truck when im not towing anything."
Performance Parts Installed:
Edge Juice with Attitude, 4" MBRP cat-back exhaust with 5" pollished stainless steel tip. Turbo Resonator plugged

This truck was purchased brand new from Carr Chevy of Beaverton, OR. It is a 2007 Silverado-LT 2500HD Crew Cab, Short Bed, Classic w/ Duramax +Alison Transmission, XM Radio, Sunroof, and much much more!
"Purchased new as one of the last 2007 "Classic" Silverado 3/4 ton Duramax units on the lot.
A working diesel, not a driveway queen: I tow a 30' Outback TT and haul 650lbs of astronomy instruments with my truck. Of the 16,000+ miles on the truck, over 12,000 have had the trailer behind.

First "road trip" for this truck and my then new Outback trailer travelled from Portland to Nora Springs, Iowa in May 2007. We encountered road-closing

Today's truck gets the "most stuff" award. Definitely one of the most unique trucks that we have featured on Truck Profile. We have a 2003 7.3L Ford SuperDuty Powerstroke that makes a stock truck look like a P50 Microvehicle (can of tuna...maybe smaller). Scott purchased this truck brand new in 2003 from Uftring Motor Mall in East Peoria IL.
"I bought the truck in 03 because diesel fuel was cheaper at the time. Then i added a lift kit and wheels and started to show it at car shows and would win first place, then i was hooked. As all of you can see i did not stop adding to the truck and still today with over

This is Eric's 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 SLT that he bought locally from Larry Vickers Dodge which is now Royston Dodge. Eric bought this truck mostly for play and show, but he does enjoy using it for some occasional racing and towing.
"The truck has mostly been a daily driver. I do use it for some occasional towing, but nothing serious. I have always wanted a dually truck and it had to have a Cummins under the hood. I was lucky enough to find the exact truck I wanted without having to special order it. The truck started as a project the day I bought it. With a vision in my head, I went with it. It was a vision that

This is a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Sport with a 24V Cummins Turbo Diesel engine. The only performance modification he has made is a Holley Blue Pump. However, Nick hopes to add a 5inch exhaust and chip eventually. Another modification that Nick has made is the Cummins stickers. Rumor has it that Cummins stickers will actually add another 25-50HP just by being on the truck. Maybe we can get Nick to confirm that.
Inside the truck is a new deck and 2 - 12 inch kenwood subs with a 900 watt rockford fostgate amp. Nick does all of the modifications and add ons himself, and would like to add a set of towing mirrors and a 2 inch leveling kit before

Billi Ney only submitted 2 pictures with no information. However, we could not help but post this really cool picture that you see below. Its a nice truck! And from the looks of it, he has a LOT of fun. We are going to guess that this Dodge is a Diesel judging by the pitch blackness inside the exhaust pipe from the lower picture. Plus, it appears that he has a 5" tip, which would also imply that this is probably a Cummins powered rig. Thanks Billi, and when you get a chance, SEND US MORE INFO!! BTW, nice lights.
