New dad!

Well, I would not call it a baby since the GVRW is 9800lbs. It only took me two months of looking but I got an '05 250SD PSD CC Lariet. I'll not bore everyone with a list of features, lets just say it has more then I was looking for and I love everything about it so far. So far none of the problems I have read about others having (death wobble, fumes in cab, rough shifting, lack of power, etc.). Picked it up yesterday and the first 100 miles were painful, trying to follow the deisel breakin guide. Took it on a little 300mile trip today and I bet a lot of folks were annoyed following me since I was not using the cruise.

I actually have Jeff to thank, in part, for getting the truck two months early. I walked into a local dealer and said "I can fax this window sticker to a dealer and get 1k under invoice as well as the rebates, what can you do?" After two hours of walking towards the door and what not they went to $500 under invoice and I walked out with a set of keys
