Nice! Hubby had an 03 2500 Duramax HD diesel, traded it in for an 04 ford F350 super duty diesel w/ crew cab. He put a beating on that chevy and it took it like a champ (heā€™s a flooring contractor lol haulin marble and tile etc) Put a superchip and an intake on it, that thing gained like 150 hp šŸ˜ƒ Put it in sport mode, and that thing was a monster. Nice purchase. ---

Sup Brian. The old truck was a 2004 with just under 30,000 miles. I couldnā€™t pass up the employee discount. New truck for $5 less per month lol. The 04 needed 6 tires, cracked windshield, cruise control didnā€™t work right and they couldnā€™t fix it. Brake job was in the near future too. Now I have new tires, a new warranty and a little more hp and torque :naughty: This truck seems to ride much nicer too. I had to get white (my second choice) A black truck wasnā€™t available. I like the white, It;s a nice change. jinxxycat, those fords are NOT very comphy. OUCH!!! My buddy has one and its is like sitting on a cement block after a few miles. lol I was thinking of doing some kind of after market mod to the new chevy but my car mods will come first lol ---

My boss got an 05 dually because of the employee discount too. Traded in his 04 on it. The 05 runs WAY better than the 04 did. Just seems to have tons more grunt. :bigok: Thatā€™s a super nice truck. ---
