Thanks guys, I have read post here that says just what Mechanic said. It is a second vehicle for me so it may take a while to get that many miles on it. I can't wait.

dhawk57, Congratulations on your order. The SD and the V10 make a sweet combination in every cab and model . You are in for a great experience .
I ordered mine on Dec3/04 and picked it up Jan31/05. It still gives me a thrill every time I drive it and no other new vehicle I have ever owned has lived up to my expectations the way this truck has. I hope you enjoy your new SD as much as I enjoy mine and when your dealer calls with your VIN and your build week, that is pretty neat. Keep us informed and all the best, Wrench.

It is a great vehicle. It will be sluugish for a while, but not bad. Take the time to do Fredvon4's break-in procedure for engine and brakes. Enjoy!!

I printed out Fred's breakin procedure a few months ago and for sure will use it as I break in my new SD.
