Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
I took possession of my new truck on Tuesday the 16th. Ordered on September 18th.
This truck is AWESOME!
Before the truck came in, I gave my salesman (Butch) in writing 2 things I wanted done while the truck was being prepped. You guys probably know exactly what they are:
1. Check all fluids, especially the differentials, because they are almost always low.
2. Check for tape instead of body plugs on outside bottom of cab.
When the truck came in, first thing I asked was did they check those items. Butch said, let go talk to the Tech who prepped the truck. We did, and I asked him 3 times if he had personally check the differentials. All 3 times he said "yes" he personally check them. I didn't even ask about the body plugs.
Anyway, the next night when I was putting on the nerf bars, I see tape, no rubber plugs! So now I questioning the differential fluid levels. I check the rear and can't get anything to register on my finger. I check the front and can barely get my finger to touch the fluid.
Next day, I call Butch, he informs Service Manager, I go back down the following day and have 1 pint put in the front differential and 2 pints put in the rear!
The service manager had the Supervisor of the Tech perform the work. He told me that he had him do it so he could take care of the Tech who failed to check them, and lied to me.
As far as the truck goes, I can't say enough about it. I miss the White Obsession, my 99, but this truck is awesome. I don't miss the noise or the manual transmission!
Yes, I have the smell from the engine compartment while idling, but according to others that will go away in 5 to 10K.
The ride, steering, power and 48RE are great! I'll have to get a box when the dust settles on them.
And I just love the looks of the Duelly!
By the way, I named it "Ghost Rider". Picture to follow after I get all the accessories on.

They just keep getting better and better.
