    Senior Pastor

    I'm the Senior Pastor of Jenison Bible Church in Hudsonville, MI. I bought my truck when I lived out in the country and pulled a trailer with horses and mules. Now that I've moved to MI from MO (and into the suberbs in the process) I don't need all that power anymore, but I still like it!! :D

    BTW, my name has "1/2 ton hauler" under it, but that's not accurate. I drive a 3/4 ton. This is probably pretty obvious, but I can't find where to change it. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

    I work as a chief engineer onboard an ocean going tug boat. Travelling between New Jersey and Puerto Rico and sometimes Florida. Running 2- 3,600 horse, 20 cylinder, turbo charged EMD's for main engines and 2 Catapiller 3304 (turbo) for generators, a Blown Detroit 8v71 for the tow winch. We burn about anywhere from 7,000 to 8,000 thousand gallons of diesel a day, and normally carry 168,000 gallons fuel on board. The power is unbelievable. We tow a 730 foot triple deck barge, 100 foot beam, which in turn carries maybe 5-6 hundred autos and other various equipment, and about 600 full size trailers. These mains run constantly, about 650 hours a month, the Cats run 250 hours and are then serviced.
