I'm not familiar with Mopar stuff. I do know enough that your rig had some weight to it. It should have been good on snow covered roads. How many fuel trucks had to follow you around? LOL That poor 360 was struggling.

Yep, those guys are using techniques to make things work that I have no knowledge of. I'll have to do some research on them, it sounds like interesting stuff.
