cool....I went back and forth a few times comparing the before trade in and after trade in pics to see what you put back to stock before you traded. Congrats.....gonna look good...ehhh....better..... after you put all your stuff on it.

Why do you suppose you was having turbo problems? 2012 isn't that old.... was it because of anything you did (programming/deletes wise), or did it just have a lot of miles and was worn out?

What a huge difference wheels and tires make, totally different attitude. The only thing I dont like about those hub caps is you cant get to the hubs, I like having access to my hubs to turn and lock them once in a while, especially when snow is coming. I guess they can always be drilled out. Congrats on the new ride, cant wait to see it with new shoes.

The end of the center caps come off to acess the hubs.

Well its cuz i bought the 450 pre owned with 20,000 miles and well i had no problems up to when i got to the 50,000 area the egt sensors went out bout 4 times, and my turbo started messing up ag like 53,000 miles and well i only have warranty up to 60,000 miles. And well i didnt wanna have any more problems and have to dish out $$$$ out of my own pocket after my warranty is up. So i jumped on the 2015 brand new and got extended warranty up to 100,000 miles. And truck really was always stock motor wise i was about to void my warranty when i knoticed the turbo problems, thank god i didnt lol.

I'm interested to know what you think about the 15 over the 12 and the 350 vs 450. How does it turn compared ect...

Ive really just had it one day so i really havent driven it much, but to me the 15 has more power than tht 450 when i had when on the original wheels. Also i love the new interior way bttr compared to the 12's tht huge screen i really like alot.

Thanks B Warning, I didn't know the caps come off, at least somebody was thinking. I like to lock my hubs once a month or so just to get everything moving around in there a lubed up.
