    Still extremely pleased with the purchase, no major issues other than a weeping diff that was corrected under warranty and the first ECU reflash to correct the R to D hesitation.

    I still can't believe it's been five years and 60k miles already, truck still pushes all the right buttons for me.

    Here's a link to the post where I first brought it home.

    I was going to say that, but a Taco is more like a beer? Or, a well aged bourbon? :drunk:
