NEW GUY CHECKING IN AND SAYING HI

I tried this earlier but somehow lost the post out in cyber land. So, here goes: Hi y'all, my handle is Stanley Z and I just bought a shiny new 6.7L. So, I'll be hanging on here for what I hope is a long time. I'm new here but have been on FTE since 2000 or maybe 2001, anyway a long time.

This is my third diesel, 7.3L, 6.4L and now the 6.7L. The 6.4 was tuned deleted and had a lot of other stuff going on. About two weeks ago a drunk old woman wiped me out at a red light and they totaled the truck. So, here I am. I use the truck almost exclusively for towing my 5th wheel and touring when we are on the road.

Home is south of ATL about 35 miles. Looking forward to learning from those with 6.7L and helping out when I can. So, hi. And here are the picks.

I been surfing around on here for about a half hour trying to learn what I could about the hitch prep in my truck. I was pleased to note that when the subject of weights and balances and tow ratings and pin weights and GCVWRs and SRW versus DRW are all sorted out on here and no one disagrees on what all those numbers mean. That's just very cool.

Be good to have another experienced member join us from the 6.4(Senix, UGA to name a few). Hope you enjoy your truck and if warranty isn't an issue, I HIGHLY recommend deleting for a great ride. Welcome!
