Happy B-Day to my Truck!!

[jrandol]

Hard to believe I have had this thing a year already!! Anywho, bought it the 28th of August 2002 with 13 miles on it. Now have 41k on it and loving every minute of it. Funny thing is when I bought it I said I would leave it stock so as to save the warranty, yeah right!! Here's the transformations my truck has seen in a year:



RV275 injectors in Jan. 03

Blue Chip FMS Premium March 03

HX35 June of 03

ATS TC & Valve Body in July of 03

Home Made Fuel Pusher Pump Setup in Aug. of 03

Stage 3 injectors in Aug. of 03





Next on the List (dont let the wife see this part! )



5" Exhaust

Hybrid Turbo





Problems corrected in 1st 41k miles:



transmission Shift Relay in Oct. of 02

Intake Gasket in Aug of 03

Soon to be taken care of: Rear Main Seal (Starting to leak )





Overall, my fuel mileage has averaged 18. 63 MPG over the first 41k miles. I would say the majority of my miles are interstate at 75-82 mph.



Looking forward to rolling over 100k in late 04, early 05!!!

*Just* over 2 years here (August 8, 2001 purchase date, she had 112 miles on her when I picked her up). For her birthday this year she got a double coat of wax.



43,000 miles, avg mpg is right around 17. 5 with 70/30 city/highway respectively. 01 2500 SLT+ 4x4 QC SB 5spd



Replaced:

Track Bar under warranty

Ball Joints under warranty

Clockspring under warranty

Emergency Brake Release under warranty

Intermediate Steering Shaft under warranty

Lift Pump (did it myself)

PE Comp

Dashmat

Replacement front and rear bumpers

Nerfs

Scotty II

Isspro EGT/Boost/FP gauges

Will Add:

That ought to do it for me. Most of the "Will Add's" will be done after she's paid off. Truck should last me another 8 years or so (at least, that's the plan).
