UPGRADING!!
Well, finally decided it was time to buy a newer truck, my 03 6.0 has given me 6 1/2 pretty good years, other then some corroded wires 2 years ago costing me an extra 4 grand I didn't want to spend. Going from this:
To this:
Picking it up tomorrow in the PM, pretty excited for my first dually!
Oh yeah, newer one is an 07 with 113,280 or so km's while my 03 is up at 275,000 km's as of right now. Going to be nice to have an in warranty truck again.

I barely knew it was there at times. DRWs really do come in handy at times.

First picture of it that I've taken myself, sure drives a lot nicer then my old beast!
Will be taking more pics as time allows, went and picked my truck up at 5:30 tonight, then had to drive an hour back to work, too busy right now! Just did some research, this suckers got 4.30's in it, she'll be thirsty!

It was my pcm being fried which cost the most, also the ficm was shot and then the labor to find all the problems is what brought the cost up so high

Yea right. Uh huh, sure.
4.30 gears aren't as thirsty as you would think as long as you keep it at 65, that tends to be the sweet spot with those gears.

Yeah that's what I was thinking I would have to do this morning when I woke up, not a big deal really for better fuel mileage. No jacking it up ever, my stock 03 my camper could barely fit on it, happy to have a lower rear end now

I have to get some brackets for it, they extend the jsacks 4" or so on each side. Should be enough but I might have to do some 2"X2" steel to bring them out further
