This is Eric’s 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 SLT that he bought locally from Larry Vickers Dodge which is now Royston Dodge. Eric bought this truck mostly for play and show, but he does enjoy using it for some occasional racing and towing.

“The truck has mostly been a daily driver. I do use it for some occasional towing, but nothing serious. I have always wanted a dually truck and it had to have a Cummins under the hood. I was lucky enough to find the exact truck I wanted without having to special order it. The truck started as a project the day I bought it. With a vision in my head, I went with it. It was a vision that I have had ever since I was a kid. I have always loved big rigs and dually trucks, so this is what I ended up with. Now it’s finished! Well, at least I think it is. So, now it’s really more of a weekend warrior for me. Just something to play with and enjoy while being different from everyone else.”

Eric is proud to say that he has done every modification on this truck except the Rhino Liner. This Includes…

Performance Mods:

• Quadzilla Xzillaraider II Race Module
• CFM+ intake
• AEM Workhorse HD Cold Air Intake
• Banks Monster Dual Exhaust with an MBRP Test Pipe

This 2006 Dodge Cummins took 1st place in the 2000 & newer truck class at the 20th Annual “Fun In The Sun” All Mopar Show at Chilhowee Park Knoxville, TN.
