I like the exterior of the 2nd gen better, but everything else is better in the 3rd gen as far as interior, ride and such. Could be thats just the laramie packagecourse the last truck was a laramie too. Its 4x4 but its an electric tcase. Just a **** on the dash you turn.

Nice looking truck, NV5600 with 3.73 should give you decent RPMs on the highway.

I was surprised to see they were 3.73. I thought they came with either 4.10 or 3.55. Anyway I cruise around 1800rpm going 60mph and 2100-2200rpm at 70mph. The best thing of all is I'm getting 4mpg better then the 02 did. The 02 got around 14mpg and the 04 is getting 18.3mpg.

Couple of pics of it sitting in the driveway before the camera died. Thankyou for the compliments.

Jake, one thing that helps mileage is that no cat stock, also you dont have the dang 3rd injection event. your 305 only has two injectio cycles. the 3rd injection came with the 600's just to keep the cat hot to reduce NOx emissions[:@]

only downside is you have a 3.5" exhaust from the turbo to the muffler.
