Almost Rick. I now have over 700 miles on it. Will finish putting the rest of the break in mileage on her this weekend. I have the truck scheduled to be detailed on Monday. Want to get a good coat of wax on it before the state decides to start dumping road salt.

Once you hit 1000 miles, just knock 10 grand off of the price tag.

What is your mileage doing? Pass everything but the gas station. LOL

Not too bad Rick. I am now up to a whole 12 MPG. The 4.30 gears dont help. But at least I know I can tow most anything I want too.

That is probably about right for mileage. The ECM will set you free at 7500 miles. will run better and do better with the fuel mileage.

That it will Rick. I know it is still learning my driving style and that takes a bit to do.
