Other: "I bought my first diesel, a '96 Power Stroke F-350 at 21 years old. I use my Dodge to pull my '66 Ford Bronco rockcrawler, to get firewood, and everything a normal Montana man would need to do. My favorite mod would have to be the bumper that I built. My least favorite mod would be the intake heater delete. It didn't do much for power, and now the truck is very hard to start when it's cold."
