So how do you like hte V6 compared to your 4 banger? i told you like 9 months ago that you had engine envy, and it turns out i was right

You know - I don't drive it any faster, so I haven't even begun to use it to its full potential. What I am really impressed with is the smoothness of the Automatic transmission. This thing is great! I just can't wait until tonight - 3 hour drive to Houston.

You were right - I have engine envy, but I STILL have engine envy. I really want a Turbo Diesel!

I bought the chrome upgraded ones. $130. I think they start at $70.

The video on Redlines site is pretty good.

I grabbed my hood struts from C2C and supposedly they are pretty much the same. I've got no complaints.

Tow Package

Fog Lights

Already MODDED!!!
Pioneer DEHP7800MP Deck w/ AUX in

Nice truck, and by the way, if you want those steering controls back, the PAC-SWIPS universal adapter for pioneer can be had for $40 on Amazon. You can check it out on crutchfield. I put it in and it works great. You aren't limited to the factory setup either. You can choose from a bunch of different functions.
