Thanks. That is a good read. Still trying to figure all the features out. My old truck had a radio and cruise control..

The back up camera is gold. Hooked up to the trailer tonight to adjust hitch height (not needed). The Camera is worth the truck payment.

It's the square wheel wells that do it for me. Someone mentioned them in a thread on here and now I can't unsee them.

Nice truck, 6.0 is legendary as I'm sure you know by now.

Check the refrigerant sticker under the hood. I am pretty certain that the 2500's and 3500's use R134a.

Nice truck! These run forever!

Someone has to come along and rain on a parade.

Nice truck

Rod

LOL Thanks Rod,

I knew about the problem when I bought it. My sister in law is a Service writer at a Chevy dealership. It ok.

I am happy.

That's good news. Didn't mean to rain on the parade. Its just that we have been seeing many of those condenser failures. The chinese replacement is an upgrade!

I knew you meant well man. If it breaks it breaks. It has 2 mores years of warranty.

Right now I can't wait to two with it. I know it won't be a huge difference, but I can already tell it will be better and it is so comfortable compared to the old truck. Feel much more solid running down the road too. I just don't need (and wasn't really ready) for the Diesel. 10 to 12 years out of this one. I will be about 56 and it will be time to buy my retirement diesel.

60 MPH is right around 1750 rpm
70 is 2000 rpm
