Default I own a CTD!

Well, I had to fly down here to TX to find the one I wanted, but I got it. I got an 04 QC DRW longbed w/ 6spd. I couldn't believe how clean and nice this truck was. You'd swear it was brand new. It's got 54K miles on it, but the ONLY thing I can find wrong with it is that the ash tray doesn't stay closed. I'll have to figure out whats up with that, but I'm sure it's just a missing clip or something that holds it closed.
So, tomorrow I get to drive it 1400 miles home through the 4 corners area to get back to SLC

Well, we made it home with no problems what so ever. The truck didn't even hiccup. I kept track of the mileage on the trip back.
Miles Fuel qty speed/terrain lie-o-meter actual MPG
386.524.638 70 MPH/DFW to Amarillio 17.5 15.7
307 15.261 70 MPH/Amarillio to Albquerque 22 20.1
611.5 27.526 65-70 Albquerque to SLC 22.9 22.2

When I filled up in DFW, I mixed up a gallon of Drew's brew and I add it to the tank 1 pint per tank. I used the cruise control as much as possible, so the increase in mileage wasn't due to driving habits. Ialso noticed thatthe brewquieted the engine down a little.
The previous owner deleted the muffler and it has the stock 4" exhaust, I thought it might drone and annoy me, but it is barely noticeable. The sound of the tires on the highway is worse than the exhaust note.
I am super happy with the truck, it doesn't have any leaks or rattles, and it drives nice.
Here's a pic I took at a rest stop in Moab.
