The first thought that came to mind was an ‘06 Dodge 5.9 with quality transmission work. So that was the plan, and so far it has been accomplished!” Lane’s favorite part is that these trucks are what got him into his love for diesels. “My stepfather had a 2nd-gen followed by an early 3rd-gen before then getting an ‘07 5.9,” Lane says. “I’ve always enjoyed how well the trucks have performed.” Subscribe Our Weekly Newsletter for FREE Plans are in place for upgrades. “I have plans to get a fuel system installed on the truck from the boys at AirDog, and add a bit more air with a 2G setup and slightly larger charger from my good buddies at Smeding Diesel,” he says. “A decent 650-700 RWHP truck that drives and tows well is my ultimate goal—a truck you can take a step back and admire.” 2006 Dodge 2500 Owner: Lane Wakeland Wichita Falls, TX BUILD LIST S&S 45% injectors Hardway Performance tune Full Suncoast billet transmission Thuren 3-inch springs and track bar RI-Fab link Bilstein shocks all around 2-inch shifted adapters 17×10 Weld Mountain Crushers Paint to match tails, mirrors, and handles Total 5 Shares Share 0 Tweet 0 Pin it 5 Share 0
