Air Ride dually finally here!

[Stab]

Sitting with the big boys in Dumas TX...waiting the ice store out!!

Ice one inch thick under the front tires, two inches under the duals.

Thank God for Wal-Mart parking & van trailers blocking the wind!

Horseman-AR that is a sharp truck. I like the colors. Do the mirrors fold in automatic or do you manually have to fold them in.

Thanks! Yeap, jfcody said it...my mirros are power folding. Come to think of it, I've not even played with those yet.

Looks like you lucked out. I read they have suspended the air ride on 3500 SRW orders.

Nice looking truck! Love the belt buckles on the doors.

Thanks! Had not heard that...wonder why the suspension? My luck, they'll change something only to make it better, or they've found something wrong with the design. Hope not. Love the truck so far.

You'll have this one traded off before the 2nd oil change...

I think maybe they have a parts supply issue. I have heard some are down for weeks with issues and no parts to fix them! SNOKING

Could be weather related, having problems getting parts from the upper Midwest to Mexico

Truck freight and logistics in general are a hot mess right now. Throw high demand on top of that and you have a disaster.

You're just jealous, my friend! I might get 3 oil changes in...:-laf

Well hell Cummins12V98, you were only 150 miles North of my home! BUT we were in TX when that was going on...

We get to Rapid quite often. Stop in for a cold one next time!

Finally filled the tanks from the TX trip:

1485 total miles, 193.59 gallons, 7.67 mpg! The ice storm and extended idling to keep warm before the second fill drew it down some.

First fill was 8.58, second fill was 8.25. Plus we were trying to make up sometime on the last fill. Averaged 66 miles per hour for the last 568 miles.
