A quick good late morning everyone..... first day back and it was a late start after a doctor's appointment and we got slammed while I was off on vacation.

Morning Jason and Pat.

New truck's looking real good Pat. What's the first reaction to driving that?

Morning Neil, Bill! Bill..........Weird......It's so damn quiet! And it sits lower. It's nice, though. Just going to take a little time to get used to it!

Howdy Neil.

Pat - that was the first reaction to my 2010 too. I need more loud, personally. Thinking about putting an exhaust on it - looks like it might need it soon anyhow due to rust.

Is it time to go yet???? It looks like the pile of paperwork on my desk just gets bigger and bigger.

I wish, Neil. I'm dealing with pretty much the same thing.

Nice truck, Pat! Congrats! I know what you meant about the height. The last time I got a 150 as a loaner, I felt like I was sitting on the road! That being said, the height difference is something you can get used to. It looks really nice & who doesn't like a shiny, new truck?!

thanks Jason! One thing I need to do, is get a leveling kit for it. I don't like the nose-down rake on it.

Bill, it does not help that I got into the office at 10 instead of 9 due to an appointment with my foot doc. I just finished spending an hour reviewing one deed that actually included 8 separate descriptions that ended up conveying over 500 acres of farm land. Needless to say that is not the norm, but it still takes time to review.

That will likely help with the feeling of sitting so low too.

Howdy Neil! Jason, I think I'll like it better being level, just doesn't look right with the nosedown stance.

I have the same sense with my 2010 - seems very "nose down," so I will probably also level mine in the not-too-distant future.

Not sure if I'll do it, or have it done. Going to look into both. I know the kits are not that expensive.
