2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission got new 09 3500 long bed

[EricBu12]

Well my 01 finally had a nervous breakdown . . Problem starting. . It also stayed "on" without the key. . Drained batteries. . Trans leaking from front seal. . Power steer pump leak. . Thought it was finally time.



Got a 09 3500 SRW ST. Long bed. . Got a good trade and rebates. . Took some retirement cash and financed the rest. .

I am on my mobile phone right now. . Post a pic later. . Just a silver quad cab. The 6 speed auto is pretty slick . . Seems to work pretty good.



So I will be on the 3rd gen section now. .

Hey I am going to miss my Bronze Beast. . got some new territory in the 3rd gen to play with. . Cant do much because of the DPF. . add too much power and it will plug up faster.

Got some time to think of what I will do to personalize this. I saved my NW Custom Mudflaps. . the right one interferes with the exhaust. #@$%! Have a Set of Winter fronts ready for this, just gotta get a little cooler.

Hitch and wind deflector wont go on til close to next towing season. . about over up here. . getting colder and not as many days that are nice. Sucks. . Wanna TOW!!:{ Looking for a Super 5th hitch 20. 5K. I have the super rails, just need the hitch and the mounting plate.

The 6 speed Automatic. . (manual). . as it has the buttons to select what you want... I go on the freeway, get off the ramp,, select 5, and brake on,, select 4, it turns off the brake, shifts, then the brake comes on again. . in like 2 seconds. . This thing is GREAT!! I wanna TOW Something!!

Anyway. . had the Duraplate and fabric care protect done and the rubberized undercoating. . I de-bombed the and took all the stuff I wanted off the old truck today. . Put my 19. 5"s in the garage for the winter. . Truck has the venerable Michelin LTX-MS . . "E" tires. . Running some streets and freeway, I am seeing almost 16 MPG right now. . got almost 200 miles since I got it. . not bad mileage for a un-broke-in engine.
