Joking, I'm shaking my fist at you with this comment. My wife and I tried to get a site at the campground for Memorial Day weekend a couple of months ago, and they were booked at both campgrounds! We tried a couple of times since and same answer. Unfortunately, the weekends are pretty much booked up. My family and I will get up there sometime this year even if the trip will be in the fall. We are unable to take the trip during the week since our vacation time is booked for the end of the year this year. So no time off for some thing like that.

All joking aside, I hope the truck treats you well. Maybe I will run into you at Knoebel's some weekend.

When I leave Knoebels this year I will make the reservation for next year. You have to do it that way or you will never get a site. They send out the reservation letters in late January early February and as soon as I get mine I call right away with my credit card. I don't take any chances of losing my site.

Over the weekend I painted my cap and today I put it on and loaded up the tools. I will take pictures tomorrow if its not raining too hard. Also got to put on some miles today, I am at 285 currently. I also got my first Exhaust Cleaning message right at 250 miles. It didn't feel any different maybe because I was going 55mph, if it wasn't for the message, I would have never known.
Since I put well over 2000lbs of weight in it, the rear has a little sag, something I expected but this time I might do something other than air bags. I might try those Sumo springs, timbrens, helper springs or a custom spring pack. I need to do some research.

What is the forum favorite for gauges? I need something to monitor EGT's and trans temp. I know trans temp is available in the menu but scrolling back and forth while driving is annoying.

The only way I know mines in regen is by my edge cts.Then I notice my miles per gallon slowing going down on splash screen.I estimate my mpg goes down about .5 miles everytime I have a regen.Not complaining.Truck still gets 16-17 avg.

Rolled over 500 miles today, my cheek muscles hurt from smiling.
rtazz17 that Edge CTS looks like a good thing to have. I have to put that on my mod list.

I love my Edge Insight CTS. Had it on two trucks now. Love monitoring in real time.

I have 500 miles and am going to tow my 10k lb. boat this Friday. Can't wait to see how it pulls.

Congrats on the new truck. You will love the 6.7. Can't wait to get mine broken in so I can stop towing my work trailers with my 2010.

I decided to go with the Timbrens this time. I ordered them on Friday and got them today. I will put them on as soon as it stops raining. Oh and I still need to get pictures.
Of course I will have to wash the truck before taking pictures. I might need some assistance in posting the pics, computers are not really my thing. Maybe I could email them to someone if I can figure out how to do that on my phone.

I've got the Edge Insight CTS and love it. With three screens you can monitor just about everything that is in the ODB II port I did have to get a software patch as it kept giving a message that there was too many PIDS being monitored. Was not a problem, just emailed support, and they uploaded to the CTS.
