In all honesty, I haven't even picked it up yet. Will be driving out to central Illinois on Thursday to pick it up (10 hrs one way) and then driving home on Friday with a friend following me back in case something goes awry. I don't think anything will go wrong, but I would rather be prepared with tools and a vehicle to go pick up supplies than sitting on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck.

Been around diesels all my life, brother and dad both have them, finally getting one for myself.

Already bought a bunch of parts for it to help with towing and MPG, will also be purchasing a tuner once I have a little seat time with with the truck as well.

Thanks for the welcome everyone, went and picked the truck up Thursday evening, and then drove home yesterday.

10 hours - 621 miles.

Got 18.16 miles per gallon averaging 75 or so on interstates. Don't even know if the radio works at this point, listened to turbo diesel rhythm all the way home :eek:

The place I picked it up from was AJ's Country Cars in Princeton, IL.

Will be installing the gauges, brake controller, exhaust and CAI today.

Definitely going to invest in a programmer now, do not like the shift points of the stock tranny at all.

Welcome from Maryland.
The chrome over the fenders is in great shape. Despite the salt they throw down in our area. Truck was treated well imo.
