Thanks for that info Gerry. I suppose Monday or Tuesday I will receive my Livewire and begin monitoring. I picked up my truck from the shop last night and the mechanic told me my oil cooler was going bad

Daniel and Gerry,
At first I was thinking that I needed to move my truck. Since it's big and really doesn't fit in any parking spaces in a Town/City.
But after I found out he just wanted to say how awesome my truck was I had no problem talking with him. We did eventually go out side and chat about it. He was a really nice guy and was taking notes for what to do with his truck.

Gerry I know what you mean. But the main reason I took my truck to the shop I did is because they are family owned and operated. (Big plus in my books) Not only that tho I seriously doubt he's hurting for work. He had more than 20+ trucks in his shop. He only got mine so fast because I had the parts with me. (and it was a simple task) But second opinion I shall.

Morning NM!
The family and I will be making our first trip to see an Isotopes game this afternoon. I haven't been to a baseball game in a while so looking forward to it. Should be a good time!
Yes it its. I know it's small, but as Gerry said you can check out my build thread to see more picks. The link is in my sig.

Thanks Dan. I need to figure out how to add more power to her since she's very sluggish trying to maintain speed (or cruise control) when going up the hills around here.
I'm thinking about changing the gears to 4.10s to start but I need to add more power under the hood somehow as well.

I know what you mean. We have an 03 5.4 supercrew and my dad hates going out in it (mainly for the reason after driving a diesel a gasser doesn't compare) but he always complains of how it doesn't hold its cruising speed up hill. I simply tell him "Dad larger gears and install a turbo problem solved " and he ends up giving me the yea your crazy look.
