Hi, I am new to this forum, although I have been lurking several months, and I would like to introduce my truck and myself. I own a White 98. 5 2500 ISB 4WD 5spd. SLT QC 6. 5 Bed 3. 54 w/LSD that I bought new from Dave Smith. I just hit 40K. I put Bilsteins and Velvet Ride shackles on it with a K&N in the original air box. It is shod with BFG AT 295/75R16s on MT Classics. This week I will put Mobil 1 Delvac 1 in w/Fleetguard Stratapore replacing the Mopar filter and Delo 400. Then I will probably put on a Tuff Country leveling kit (the 295s do rub at the turn-locks when front shocks are compressed). Future mods will be in sync with Ted Jannety's BOMB order recommendations. I have learned much from this site already. My only complaints with the Truck or DC are that I chose the HD Vinyl seat covering rather than cloth (as well as rubber mat instead of carpet). As of 25K the driver's side front seat vinyl began cracking at creases and recently a seat spring broke (I’m 6’3" and weigh around 250 lbs. ). This is not what I expect from a $30K(+) truck and of course it is not under my "bumper to bumper" warranty. Also the rear diff has leaked at the pinion seal after 3 Dealer repairs (my trade is auto mechanics, but they (DC) can donate their labor on this one). I am, also, frustrated with the front brake configuration and will probably at next brake service opt for the Performance Friction brake pads at the least.

That's my story for now. I just wanted to say Hi to y’all.

Joe
