Not in my opinion. Rear axle and trailing arms are slice and dice... not only that but there is no lateral stabilization! Engine is hacked up, no rear bumper, ridiculous tailgate, bed is now useless... the truck is nothing but a show piece and a tacky one at that.
I mean the craftsmanship exhibited in doing what he did - the paint is excellent as far as I can see from the pictures, the body mods are smooth.
You are right that his *engineering* skills are not good though! I'm not sure where he's trying to go with the engine mods. And you are right, as a truck to haul anything in the bed or even tow a trailer of some sort, if it will still work at all, it will only work poorly.
Kind of reminds me of some chopper bikes - as a bike to ride, frankly, they suck - not fast, not comfortable, not really *good* for anything. But, that's not the point - the point is to look cool - and that they do.
Looks like he was having fun.I did notice that it appears he did away with the turbo intercooler.Big mistake.Also NOX on a diesel is awsome.LP used on a stock gas engine dosen't profide any real proformance bust.I does run much cleaner.Less carbon build up,oil last longer.The one byproduct of gas is carbon.Which play holy hell on an engine.Were LP doesn't.Now if LP is used with NOX reather than gas you don't have to crank the engine timming back so for to pervent detonation.They also us NOX/LP setup on disesls also helps with the detonation issue.The cooler the fuel is when induced into the intake the better the mixture will be.More dens.Which means better proformance.It is a bit more involes than I have stated but,look it up.Its a good subject to check out.
what is it a drag truck or a show truck he has a set up for racing with engine mods but those stacks make it sound like a dump truck and they are right behing the cab and they eat up alot of the bed to run the duals he has it's 5.9 liter cummins not a kenworth dump truck and there are only a few places that have diesel drag races at the race track but man they are cool when they run they amount of soot is amazing and I doubt he run a race tune on the street cause it would be easy to follow

That is NOT a truck, it is a toy. It is for play, not work.
We have a few around here, Fords as well as Dodges. "Tuned" up so they belch massive clouds of black smoke (reminiscent of the old 2-stroke-cycle Detroits of the '50s). The drivers seem to think it is really cool to accelerate madly so they can leave a big black cloud behind them.
Ah, well, it is their money, and they are having fun.
That sure does look like the truck a guy wanted to trade me. Listed my truck for sale on craislist in ft.myers and he sent me a reply with some pics.. here's his email sent to me.. I'll remove the phone #'s.. I'll try to add the photos..
