    Initial check. Oil full,tires 29,30,33,34 psi. On the lift at 1000 miles. Oil still full,diffs and t case full,Front driveshaft zerks took 1 pump to get grease flowing. Appeared to have been greased.Rear axle spring u bolts slightly loose. Took 1/8 to 1/4 turn to tighten to spec. Everything is very good. Truck built in Mexico. All other fluids at max. No squeaks or rattles. Runs like a freight train and drives like a dream.
    On a side note. I don't care who makes it I never buy a 1st year production. There are always bugs to be found and sorted out and even JEEP can get their vehicles right by the 3rd production year. GTS Bruce

    The transmission is smooth with no slippage. At low throttle I have to watch the tach to catch it shifting. Did not check fluid level because it seems like a real chore to do correctly and I was having absolutely no problems.
