Newbie saying hi

[JoeyJ]

Proud "new" owner. Just wanted to say thanks to all that have posted for all the info that helped me select my truck. i was lucky enough to find my truck online in one of the truck trader mags in Las Vegas. I was the first to call on the first day out. The truck was and is a "Shaft's Big Score"... . one owner with full documentation since new. The truck was about 6-8k less than any other like truck anywhere in the country. I flew to Vegas the next morning and drove it home that night. So far the truck has cost me $52. I had to replace the window/door lock bezel. I've got to drop the tank for the fuel sending unit fix (thanks TDR), fixed the cruise control(thanks TDR), got a fumotovalve on the way to fix an over torqued/stripped drain plug(thanks TDR). Just need to relocate my gauges and exhaust brake controls from under the dash (still don't get that one) to the proper locations for the real world. Just ordered a Lowrance iWay 500C GPS with MP3 player built in and upgraded my stereo last weekend. Pulls my 37' toy hauler with ease but I'm adding rear bags next week.

i would love to hook up with some local members out in my neck of the woods as I'm new out here, as well.

Got my drain valve in yesterday and installed last night.

Short lead in story. Took it to Camping World to have the oil changed but they where afraid to pull the drain plug as it seemed to be over torqued and it's been leaking. The previous owner had informed me of the leak and told me he had replaced the plug at the last change. So after sitting there for almost 2 hours, I told them to get it off the rack and I would do it myself. i full time in my 5th wheel so changing oil has to be done with the least amount of fuss and mess. The plug took the use of my leg while gripping the sway bar but off it came. Clean threads... life is good. drain valve went in w/no problem and will make clean changes much easier.
