Great to see another happy 6.7 owner.
My wife says this truck seems a little smaller than the 99 7.3, but she loves it still.

I now have 200 miles on mine and so far so good . much quieter, more power and to soon to see about fuel but the computer shows pretty good.

the fuel economy should improve as the truck breaks in. A few thousand miles a few good tows should show you a noticeable increase like it did for me. I'm at 6k and I can average 20+mpg at 65 mph for hours at a time on the interstate. Even at 75 I am close to 19mpg. Everyone says it will get even better with even more miles... can't wait
