Default it could only happen to me....

as you know, i traded in the dak a little bit ago, at a dealer two towns away, and sure enough some one local bought it, it now sits in a driveway on the street i take too and from work everyday, oh well.... guess i get to check up on it lol, i guess i could at least stop buy and show them how all the cool stuff in it works as im sure they have absolutely no idea, and maby even try to sell the SC or some of the stock parts back to them

the cummins is doin great, about a week after i bought it, i discovered it had a slippy-fied clutch, but got the dealer to replace it at no cost, and some custom tuning with my smarty programer, i now have bunch of power and milage up in the 20's, i do still have my SC 3865 with the trans tuning, but idk if the trans tune is vin locked or not

The trans tuning is vehicle specific. You would have to buy the trans tuning, $40, when tuning a different vehicle with the 3865.

So, what might a slightly used 3865 go for these days?
