Just back from Dallas
Had to run to Dallas for work and ended up buying the fiver we wanted from a dealer in Cleaburne TX.
Which pushes the transmission cooler to the front of the list, that and gauges.
Currently I'm leaning to putting in the Quadzilla guagues they look like they'll do the job we want them to do.
That leads to the Transmission Cooler upgrade. Right now my thinking is to just go with the 6.0 cooler and do the simple swap but if someone has any sugguestions I'm open to ideas.

What day were you here? Two days ago it was 70, last night we had snow, and it will be close to 70 again this weekend. I hope you were here for the nice weather.

Thankfully it was cool climbing the ittty bitty mountains on the east coast so no worries so far with the truck and trailer combo.
Sorry I didn't mention I was down that way but I was there for work so no idea what mischief I could get into and then found this fiver so that took up what little time I did have.

Seems I have some issues swapping to a standard bed.
1. The truck is an F350 Chassis body with an extra long frame, the flat bed is in fact 9 feet. To put on a standard bed was going to take more work then I first thought but OK ....
2. My insurance is 500 dollars a year CHEAPer if I leave the flat bed on.
500 bucks a year helps out on the price of diesel.
So a nice set of stake sides latter and I'm staying with the flat bed.

I will be upgrading to a 4 inch exhaust in May though. The chip is still up in the air but something to shift the power band for towing has to be on the list soon I suspect.
