    [​IMG]Picked up my '17 from SDHQ yesterday, where I had them install nitro grear 5.29's, a speedo correction, wheels, and a cab mount chop...

    [​IMG]

    In case anyone wants to know, the 5.29 swap is so far most excellent. I towed a motorcycle 200 miles to ride home while they had the truck, and then of course back... at 75 MPH on the way there, i spent the whole trip in 3rd and 4th gear at 5000RPM and 3100 RPM respectively. never saw 5th or 6th. . On the way back, I saw 4th, 5th, and occasionally 6th, at 4100, 2900, and 2400 RPM respectively. there is a 1000 foot elevation gain from Phoenix AZ to Sierra Vista AZ for reference, and I still don't like towing with the Taco, but it was definitely better with the new ratio.
