You are correct about the "chances" thing. That was one factor in my decision but most of it was because my superduty was gettting old and It was in the process of nickling and diming me. I never realized just how much work an extra drive axle creates. (4wd) I like the fact also that the L looks cool the way it is and I dont have to mod it alot! Thank you all for all of your support while I owned my SD and now when it got vandaled!

I feel your pain brother. I had my truck broken into at the airport in Tampa. The worst part of it was that it sat with a broken window for three days until I got back, open to the weather. They broke the driver window, left a couple deep dents in the door and left with an alpine stereo and nav unit. My total was $900, not including stereo equipment.

On the bright side, I must say State Farm was *awesome*. One call and they took it from there. They even have folks who are knowledgeable about aftermarket electronics and if your model is no longer available, they match feature-wise what is currently available. I'm going to stick with them.
