congrats
I know your going to love it. I had a 2004 Hemi and bought a 2005 Diesel and just love this truck way better than the hemi, Just came home from a 1200 mile road trip. got close to 20 MPG for the whole trip. If I did the speed limit it would have been higher

Well congrats. And you won't regret it. I'm on my frst diesel too and all I gotta say is I will never go back to a gasser.

I was gonna respond to your post asking if the gears weren't listed is it a 3:73? Kinda moot now but the answer is yes. The 3:73's are standard and they dont list those but 4:10's are not and as such are listed on the sticker. Sounds like for your needs 3:73 will be all you ever need and if I'm guessing right that's probably what your Mega has if it's the same one you mentioned looking at.

Got the truck Saturday morning - WOW WHAT AN UPGRADE The diesel alone is night and day, it pulls like the Hemi never could and gets better gas mileage! I took the truck on a 400 mile trip today from CT to VT and it was a dream to drive. Through the hills of VT, the truck never downshifted and just powered its way up anything. The ride seemed better than the Quad Cab gasser too, probably from the longer wheel base and heavier weight. Took 4 of my friends for a ride tonight in the Mega Cab and they couldnt believe how much room there was. So, to sum it all up, this is a great truck

That photo looks like a spy photo taken from behind something. Or you just took the pic out of your window,lol. I wish mine had the clearance lights . They may be coming in the future, I say it isnt a real truck until you get the lights.

HAHAHA- I do wish it was a better pic. I guess it was too much to ask of the wife to take a decent picture of my truck instead of the snowflakes....I'm going to try and get some better pics tonight after work

I'm about to convert a co-worker right now, he finaly got to ride in my truck this weekend and he cannot stop talking about it, keeps saying he's never seen a truck this size hit 90 that fast, and how it just planted him into the seat untill I let off the throttle

TST 4/3 also helped a bit[8D]
