Look how beefed up the brakes and drivetrain are... . If needs a rear end rebuild just pull pumpkin out...

Thanks for sharing. Any idea on the GVW? From what I remember reading it still isn't as high as the Ford.

Now that's a truck. Back seat is kind of small though (or very drafty).

So does the Aisin trans not have the manual-shift like the 68rfe?? I noticed theres no shifter button on the shift arm...

I'm at a trade show in Vegas, Sema and AAPEX... . I'm sitting at a picnic table its ... 11 pm and 74 degrees... using my wireless internet where I'm at... .

GVW 19,500 same as an F550 Ford we're trading off... We're building something custom for loading HD clutches from the side... looks like a big dog house but very functional from our stand point... the one on the old 550 had over 500K miles.....

Inland Power and light ordered a white one just like it..... this truck has the 6 cd changer with nav system as well as the hands free... . bluetooth interface for the cell phone... . there were a couple more items we added to the base model but don't remember what group they were in... its been so long...

Remember this is a 6 speed and its the same one Mercedes has used in their smaller trucks, from what I've learned... should be a good one... I hope it interfaces with the exhaust brake as well as the allison does with the duramax... .

BTW - thanks for your help in posting the photos while I'm away... .

... . [/QUOTE]Wow: nice truck, I ordered mine with the same features for my 3500 C&C. Once you use it you will never buy a vehicle with out it. Did you also get the sat system? When I drive my 04. 5, there is an empty feeling now, the capabilities of that system will amaze you, the best feature on it is the ability to program customers locations or your vendors locations. The U connect will also be a feature you never go without, kind of like when AC was an option only, oops I guess I just gave my age away.



Good luck and keep us informed with your new truck.
