Gavin - Sorry to hear about your son. I hope he has a good and speedy recovery!

Darren - Keep us posted on the truck!

Sgt93/Steve - Are you going to delete the 2015 when they come out with a programmer for it? You might have to pay Darren a visit so you can get the right programmer.

Ugh, I don't want to think about my daughter going off to college. She's a sophomore in HS this year; that's painful enough.

One more year before college for you; enjoy every minute.

I'm not planning on it. I'm more than happy with the way she is running right now. I came close to ordering another Carli a few days ago though. Just trying to bit waste money on an already great truck.

If I tune anything next, it's going to be German or Italian

Trying to dig the boat out of my garage as I'm taking it to my dealer for routine maintenance tomorrow. There was a 10% chance of rain for today; it's now a 110% chance. Pouring here.

Shoulder is on fire from moving little stuff. Can't wait to see what this is like when I'm actually old. Ugh.

Sounds like a workbench project.

Yep - 440 HP / 860 TQ is enough. I have a feeling I am going to have fun keeping the tires from spinning in the winter. Might need a DETUNE package. 4-LO would drive me bonkers.

Dak, you will be fine in the winter; maybe better tires will be needed, but the stability control with the 4x4 makes it act like an AWD. It's very refined and I'm sure even someone from Miami will be fine ROR.

If the wife doesn't get permission to work remotely soon (she's training a new VP, and needs at least a year to get her up to speed on the site), I told her that she will not want to look in the garage of our current house ROR.

I am playing everything by ear. I get people that say you have to have studs and other say winter tires without studs are better. To the stock tires will be fine. I've asked everyone I meet. Most people here do have two sets of tires though. A lot of it I think has to do with your particular drive into work and where you live. I have been told the neighborhood I am in can have anywhere from 5' - 14' of snow on the ground throughout the winter. Winter is defined as potentially Late September to sometime in May. (It was snowing on Memorial Day here this year)

I know Darren - you can't compare tuned to non-tuned anything. I bet my tuned 6.0 would spank this stock 2015 in a stop light to stop light competition.

However, the butt-o-meter notices a difference between stock 2011-2014 and this 2015.

You will be fine Dak. At worst, get some Nitto Trails, Terra's, or BFG Trail Rated TA/KO's (or whatever they are called now) to throw on. In areas that have winter ever year (MidWest, AK etc) they do good removing the snow. It's not like ATL where a snowflake creates total chaos. It's intimidating at first to a Floridian I'm sure, but I drove a highly modified Mustang GT through MI winters as a kid. It builds character ROR!
