Sold my 6.0 and bought 6.4

I dropped by the dealer last Fri just to see the new job 2 chrome pak. Saw a blue truck and after checking out the sticker, it had ALL the options that I would normally order. I haven't seen one equipped this way. (plus it had alot of extras that I would NOT order) I decided to take it for a ride and really liked it. Long story short, the dealer REALLY wanted to move a truck. Went below X,A,D plan and into thier holdback. Then subtracted $3800 in incentives and I bought a truck that stickered for $ 56,730 and I bought it for $46,800!
I also seem to be getting better mileage that I have read about too. Not much better, but not as bad as most have written.

I sold my old 6.0 in 3 days. I had one of the GOOD 6.0's too! No problems - one of the best vehicles I have owned.

I hope this new truck turns out to be as comfortable and as reliable as my 6.0!

BTW: What happened to the hour meter function in the display?

the engine hour meter is in the system check option on your odometer. Let is go through and you'll see it.

page 125 in owner's manual if you have 3rd. printing for hour meter for more info....

I also noticed the ignition swx is off-acc-run-start vs. acc-off-run-start.

My truck also has the 'one touch start' you can momentarily operate the swx to the crank position and release and it will crank till it starts.

The new mirrors rock and I am really finding the rear camera very useful.

The elimination of the fold down arm rest on the seat and replacement with the high padded console is too low for my arm.

Congratulations on new truck.

Bob

Very nice truck, had one identical pull up behind me in Mass today. That Blue is really sharp. We will keep an eye out for you when we come back to Va next summer again for a week.

I believe it was a Fabtech kit, but not 100% sure. I do know it is a 2" lift and it did need to be aligned afterwards. The steering wheel was not centered after lift.

It still has some rake, but that is good; when I tow my boat, it should then be level.

Killaford,
I don't have chrome pak. Except for the lift, the truck is mostly stock in that pic.
