I don't know for sure. I'm guessing it will be a shorter wait time for this round.

Glad to hear it's going this route Jim. I think the wait will be worth getting what you want.

Maybe you'll get a Job 2 truck. I think they have something extra.

That is correct. Totally new order. Much faster turnaround than the original order.

I was considering asking the dealer to let me see the truck on the old order when it comes in. It's kind of like giving up a child for adoption.

That was indeed picked up very quickly. Don't look at the first truck. You don't want to be tempted by a less than perfect truck...

LOL... Oh, did you make any other changes or just the gears?

The camper package had to be added to get the gears. I now also have the e-locker. The tires were also switched from all season to all terrain. Minor changes for the most part.

Yes, if you stuck with 18's you'd need the camper pkg to get the taller gears. (With 20's you can get the taller gears without the camper pkg.) AT 18" tires will up your GAWR too...
