Upgrade time!!!!

So since September, my 6.4 had been in the shop for several reasons. 3 straight months in the shop. Finally got her back last weekend. And yesterday, she went in for the last time.....

Nice looking truck! Very simple pinstripe but effective. Was going to have some added right away but now with winter here I guess I'll wait for spring, or lose interest by then. Going to dress up the new one?

By the look of your old truck you obviously take very good care of them. Can you tell us what the on going problem was with the 6.4 ......engine? Also you'll love the new one.

was discusing it with my wife. The 6.4 seemed to match the pinstripe because it was simple but effective. I don't know if the stripes will match the tech advanced 2017 style. U get what I'm trying to say?

Exactly. To make a long story short I wanted a green truck. Since that is not possible I decided to have some tasteful hand painted stripes with a shade of forest green to break up the gold and compliment the caribou. Can't figure out exactly what to have done so I will talk to a local artist known for some kick azz work and see what he can come up with. Not gaudy but just right.
