In all my talk about 4 wheeling yesterday, I forgot mention getting my ass kicked.

I was headed up I-70. I was going up the last hill before you go down the long hill with the sharp curves at the bottom going into Idaho Springs. Anyways, goin up the hill traffic came almost to a complete stop, because somebody pulling a trailer had to pull across traffic to the shoulder. As soon as he was out of the way, I hit the gas and took off. I did not realize two lanes to my right there was a red Excursion. He took off at the same time and left me standing still going up the hill. He had to be at least 100 yards ahead of me when I got to the top.

Was it a diesel? I still get impressed with the pulling power of my truck, especially on hills.

I don't know, by the time I noticed the Excursion he was already pulling away.

happens to me all the time, and I've got a ton of engine mods, LOL.
I agree though for being so heavy, some of those bad boys can really haul!
