    Nothing yet, brand new!
    I also noticed the seat material is slightly different. The '06 had a tougher cordura nylon like fabric on the seat bolsters and seemed firmer. Did you notice this too? Must have been a supplier change or the factory pinching pennies. Lear corp. is the largest seat manufacturer followed by TRW.
    I never recall seeing an egr valve on the old motor. Maybe I never noticed it unless it was buried somewhere else. But the '06 engine bay was definitely less cluttered.

    Good trade in deal and I felt it was time for a little change.

    No I did not notice that because I got the OEM seat covers when new.

    But I have to say those were the best seat covers ever made. 1000 X's better than the Wet Okoles. After six years of putting my dirty ass in and out the only wear you could see was on the outside of the drivers seat on the bead for about 1 inch. Other than that they look new when I traded in.

    I was really bummed when they told me they did not make them for my 12.:(

    If someone made some like it I would happily pay $500 for them.

    Love the Pyrite Mica... Picture doesn't do it justice. If I had bought new that's the direction I would've gone as well.

    Your old truck sure was a beaut, though. You'll have to get started on the mods - lots to live up to!

    Thanks guys. It's growing on me. Now I need to change the grille, gonna go with another grillcraft. Probably change out the wheels. I'm also going to order a set of nice sheepskins for the front. Def need a dog cover for the rear seat. My Boxer loves to go for rides. :)
