Well guys here she is.....what have I got planned? Got a truxxx leveling kit on the way and an appointment made for the install (don't have the time to do it myself unfortunatly), got some moto metal 951's on the way, some 33" tires, new exhaust, and a tune. All this should be done before winter Had a 50 mile ride home and I love it so far! You might notice from the picture that the box rails and nerf's don't match. The dealer screwed up and there was another truck exactly like mine that went out today and it needed chrome box rails and mine needed black and they got mixed up so it'll have to go back when it gets the boxliner to get the rails changed over. I"ll keep you guys updated on the progress of the mods.

Nice ride Import, even though I have to agree with Baracis... lol But seriously though if I had to pick something other than a Dodge I would go Chevy, my dad has a 3/4 HD with a Duramax coupled with an Allison Trans and that thing has some mad power!

THanks guys and yea lightning those duramax's are pretty sick. Although thier mileage sucks! My old man buys a lot of work trucks and then passes them on to the guys in the company once he's done and in the last six months we've needed a lot of trucks so he's had both a new duramax and an 07 6.7 cummins and the cummins is by far the better deisel but the chevy one isn't bad. Better than a powerchoke!

Nice truck, I'll be one of the few who says you actually upgraded rather than downgraded.

I myself have a GM car, and I'm an admin here lol, so you are most definitely still welcome here.

Whatever helps you sleep at night

Import, for the $ I would have to say you did upgrade. You got a heck of a good deal selling your ride and buying the new one. Congrats man.
