400 Mile Observations..........

[EMD-Run8]

1) Hell! I'm startin' to think this thing is a unobtanium exotic car with a tailgate!!!



2) Checking fuel mileage now but it looks to be getting around 19 based on what was in it.



3) When did 3/4 ton trucks start handing so dang good!? I'm impressed!!!

You think your happy with your truck now just wait till it gets broken in! They just keep getting better and better.

Well yeah, I guess I need to do that. It just looks so plain right now. I do really like the Deep Molten Red Pearl even though I hadn't thought of a burgundy before I found truck (the wife likes the color too). I have a few add ons on the way but more than anything else it needs wheels/tires. The stock 245's are just too small and the steelies are buttugly. Gotta wait for some funds. Actually, your just the man I need to talk to. Didn't you tell me a while back that the wheels are 40mm offset with a 6 inch backspacing? Do you know of anybody who has anything in that spec? I wonder if any members might have their stock 275's around as these seem to be about right (maybe 285's). Also, you have the aeroturbine with a muffler right? How are you likin' it? I'm tossing between the banks or an aeroturbine/muffler combo and lookin' for opinions. Another member suggested I talk to Mark at DPP so I figure I will. Finally, to keep all this "in topic" I will emphatically say I'M GLAD I DID NOT GET THE 325/600!! I'm sure I would have loved it but the 305/555 is plenty satisfying and it appears that it will be much easier to, shall we say "personalize". Heh Heh

i like that, easier to "personalize"... i hope for my customers sake that the new "600" will be a slight programming change to personalize it too



side note- the "600"s i have got on my lot are very quiet, wasy quieter than my 03 with DPP exhuast

I think my new truck is as quiet as a gasser at idle.

The molten red is a sharp color, for sure. I was looking to order that color but last Oct. there was some sort of delay for folks who wanted that color. Since I wanted a truck before the 04 EPA regs, the 600 that is, I went with the patriot blue. I second the "satisfied" with the 305/555! as far as UMMPH goes.
