You don't have a truck until we see pics!!!

There sure are a lot of trucks popping up with "low" miles on them. I need to find me one of these trucks!!

Congrats on the new truck and welcome to FTE!!!

Welcome to FTE.

We like pictures here, in case you haven't noticed.

Adam there are some 7.3's for sale here in the Denver area with mileage in the 50's.

If you find a crew cab Lariat, 4x4, in a dark color (black, charcoal, dark blue), let me know, we may be out to visit!

Do you mean air bags? Both front and rear?

There's plenty of things to do to the truck. Start with general maintenance, change all the fluids and filters. Check all the IC boots for leaks, even pull them off to inspect them for splits, and then clean them up.
There are a number of tuners to look at, go with Tony Wildman, DP Tuner, PHP, Beans, etc. They all will custom tune to your truck, and give you exactly what you want. Far better than anything you can purchase off the shelf.

You can get alot with very low mileage, although the people that own them know they are worth alot more.. it's finding one for the right price that becomes the problem!
