    I thinking on ordering it with auto transmision, 13 speed. I think a 455 MX engine it probably going to be enough for me going to Cali and buck. Also may need engine heater or whatever you call it, and other thing for keep it cool and hot inside the truck without idling. Not shore on wheelbase and ratio yet, salesman saying that 3.55 ratio or 3.36 its good for that, and that 236 or 238 wheelbase also good choice.
    What you thinking guys? What choice of would you consider for going to California from Monteal, nedd you advice on that mod's, thank's a lot.
    I think i keep the truck for only 3 years and then to sale it, couse i would probably would put on it around 9000000 km on it by that time, so if i want to have good money for it then they told me you have to get rid of it around that time. So not shore if i need the extended warranty on it...

    I'll take them in a heart beat! I'll pm you for a meet up.

    I've stated what I have and how happy I am. In your shoes I'd prob go with the 500 mx, get the auto tranny and get the 250 wb and 3.36 rears.
    I'd put the extended warranty so at 3 years it would have warranty remaining, which is a great resale incentive for others to buy and keeps the resale value high.

    I can go max 244 wheelbase, that's what company that i'm planing to work with told me. so i guess the more the beter ride,ok thx.
    if i shoose to go with 500 hp then the extended warranty will coast double the price of 455 hp. like 4000 or 5000 $ more.

    Yes it is about $9200.00 for extended warranty, well worth it , you might love your truck and don't want to trade it, they say it's a B10 so million miles easy, they claim this and its possible , depending on your driving habbits, feels like your driving a Bentley 😉 . I would go 500hp with 1850 and 3.36 or .3.42 , I prefer manual 13spd but the automatic are doing great, my pops has a auto and he runs with me up them hills .
     
    KonstanTrucker and Lucar Thank this.

    Longer wheel base = bigger tanks, 28 gln Def tank, 150+135 fuel tanks, i can go 2000 miles in one fuel fill up and about 6000 miles on full DEF.
