Thumbs up New FTE Member

Hello All!
Bought my truck in June to haul both Gooseneck and Fifth wheel RV as needed.

Just got B&W Turnoverball GN hitch installed, which looks great. Because one of the safety chain U hooks was touching the exhaust and had to be retooled and shortened (even though the model-1105R is supposedly compatible with my truck configuration), it about scared me to death that my warranties would be invalidated! Were it not for the additional threading and cutting down of the hook, installation would have taken 1.5 hours instead of 4!

Love driving my truck and enjoy getting used to it before I have to haul something though (diesel) fuel is a killer! Some of the truck candy I've installed (myself, thank you! ):
  • rear wheel mudflaps (dually)
  • stainless steel hood protector/bug deflector
  • window air deflectors
  • Retrax retractible bedcover (wow!)
Also have the B&W Companion Hitch for the anticipated RV. So now you know all about my truck!
