Nice, rj- post up pics ASAP. Say, I'm getting crummy gas mileage lately, could the cold B a factor making it rung all rich. We had a real cold snap as of late but it's letting up now(frozen pipes and all, in the house)..........
P.S. This is wha I wanna do to my mirrors, and center peice on the bumper. Well I need paintable covers for the mirrors or can I get away with filler primer? I don't wanna half- *** this...........

I will be heading home at the end of the weekend, pics should be up on Monday 
I'm loving the truck, but averaging 11-12mpg right now. Are you stock? NHT or no? Just curious what you're getting for mileage. I'm driving mostly highway (90%) so I was hoping for about 14, maybe 15; I did level it with 33s, so I was expecting to lose some efficiency, but I didn't expect to drop to 12-12.5 on the friggin highhway. I can deal with it (or get a tune) but I would prefer not to.

Nice. I've had a best of 15.8, I think your tires are killing ya. Seems that my DIC reading has gone down since the cold snap. But observed mileage has not changed, I love this thing to death, glad I got the 6.2, for $500 more I could've had the red LTZ with a 5.3 right next to it............
PS- yes, it's says NHT on the SPID. What does that mean, anyways..........

Oh, and NHT is the Max Trailering Package with the 6.2, 3.73 rear, 4-wheel disc brakes, and heavy-duty cooling upgrades, as well as the heavy-duty rearend and trailering/handling suspension.
