That is does. I am making a 1500 mile drive in June to the east coast to see my family up there. I would like to get a good highway mileage number but being Google shows its a 23hr drive so i'll be doing as much speeding as i can to cut down the time

Agreed on all points... except the gas card and the remote start. Missed out on that option... oh well. And February 14 I drove the truck 200 miles from the dealer back to the house I was temporarily living in (out of town on business) and 300 miles back home from there a week later. Since then, I've only been driving to and from work (12 miles one way), around town, and beating on off road. My lifestyle these days doesn't exactly call for a lot of driving in my personal vehicle, despite the fact that I spend all day, every day behind a steering wheel at work. I'll be making up for it this summer when I road trip it for about 5000 miles from Arizona to Michigan and back.

I'm at 1900 now

In the quest for all out performance, laely the truck has been feeling like less and less of itself and I started to wonder, am I driving without oil, is the trans slipping? Well today on the way home from work, it has just rained a bit, I wasted another bunch of cars trying to look fast. And man did the truck run like a bat out of hell alright! I attribute it to the cooler/ moist atmosphere, because to be honest with ya, the truck only behaved like this one other time................

Ok I lied about the mileage... I'm almost at 5k HOLY ****!!!
Damn time fly's when your having fun.
I bought my truck on 1/20/11 with 7miles, now I am at 5K that sux I want to keep mileage off this beauty!

Anyways I'm excited, I have a 9am appointment Friday morning for a Dyno tune with Flaco.

I hope we can do a 3rd gear pull and get some #'s with out throwing a driveshaft!!

Has anyone looked at his trucks on youtube? Amazing...

Good luck with the tune! Post some before and after dyno numbers, if you don't mind!

Third gear pulls SHOULD be OK, we made my dyno tuning pulls in third gear, and pulled over 6200RPM.
