There are a lot of little things I am going to do Randy. I plan to fix the headlights and buff the whole car to mention a few. I was just mentioning some of the things I did already.

Thanks Mike and Cory.

Stock to stock, this one has more power. But I won't know for sure until after 500 miles. They derate them until then. But it won't out do the 6.4 until it's tuned.

I asked my dealer what was up because I could not use the safety chain attachments without removing the collars. Mine were a bear to get in. I had to heat up the collars in warm water and work them in to place. Once they are in the channels, the safety chain holders will pop in as designed.
