I appreciate everyone's feedback on the bumper. I decided to pass on it. I can always install one later if I feel like it would be beneficial (I just hope I didn't jinx us).

I smacked a deer with my FLD. Had it out of the body shop for 8 days and hit another one. I got the truck back and put a Herd on it and never came close to hitting another one the rest of the time I owned my truck.
Magoo1968, IH Truck Guy, JoeyJunk and 8 others Thank this. -

I appreciate your insightful comment. Perhaps I should have asked for you to neogiate the price on the 389 I tried to buy and I wouldn't even be here now. Call me crazy but my 389 plus $89K cash didn't make business sense but who knows some people would rather look cool and make a negative ROIC than a positive one.
I've owned 5 389's and this T680 will do the exact same thing as they did. -
wait till you get that 450 on a real hill …lolConcorde and Opendeckin Thank this.

Oh no doubt, there will be some adjustments but luckily we run about 70% in the middle but yes it will be painful. That’s why I wanted a 500HP but the dealer that had it wasn’t playing ball so I went to the next game in town to play.

You'll get used to the power or lack of? Was your 389 a 550 or something? I can't imagine it's much noticeable difference powerwise. Modern engines are so choked off and sluggish to spool anyways. You're not going to miss that barn door blowing money out the stacks.
Siinman, Accidental Trucker and Feedman Thank this.
