    Welcome. Nice rig. First and foremost drive your truck for a few weeks and really get a feel for what a dog it is. And when you're sick of all the gear hunting from the confused like communication between the ECU and the transmission and you're tired of dead pedal syndrome go find your local KD Max tuner and see what that thing is truly capable of. Best mod for the money hands down.

    Congrats on your new truck OP you gonna love it!
