Well, I'm a new guy. I Had to join this forum because I'm addicted to speed and burning fuel etc..

This is my new Diesel truck, a 2006 GMC LBZ in White.
I had the bed rhino-lined already, purchased the Triple Dog Downloader, and I'm shopping for exhaust currently.

Things I tow, are My dump trailer (hauling junk, wood, etc.)
My 3800lb(unloaded) bank safe trailer, Now used to haul my rock crawlin' jeep to the badlands, silver lake, Moab, to name a few.

Seen here with the old 01 Dodge diesel:

A little about me: I reside in Marquette, MI, grew up south of grand rapids and also in Charlotte, MI. I am the owner/ operator of a restaurant named "Jimmy John's" which is a franchise you may be familiar with where you live. I own one now, and will eventually open 9 more in various places around Michigan. I got my degree in Automotive Engineering and Service technology. I am currently certified in MI as a mechanic. I have not taken the ASE. My hobbies include, Jeeps, jumping from helicopters, fighting fires, and Living life to the fullest.

Glad to be on board and I'm sure I find some good advice in the coming months.
