Not bad looking at all, looks like you might need a new RHS headlight; looks like its got the old style FL light on that side, where the plastic fogs up and doesn't illuminate that well (compared to the LHS, which is the new, clear plastic style).
What kind of motor, 12.7 Det or 14 Det? If it has the 14, that can be turned up to 515, and at that rating it will $h!t and Git! -
Hahaha...the headlight is getting fixed as apart of the deal. It is a 14 Detroit, 435/475. I didn't know it could go to 515!! The dealer told me he would check it tonight when I pick it up and set it to what ever the chip says it can do.

Looks very nice, I had one of those trucks before when I was driving for a company. They are nice trucks to me. Since I can't drive for a company now, I sure wish I could buy one
-
We have a fleet of those trucks. Hope you have a mechanic because they are a bear to work on. Cant reach ANYTHING! look at what it takes to replace the exhaust on it, just id that last week....it took ALL week lol
-
oh by the way. we have a truck JUST like that except it is a mid roof and that thing averages like 8mpg (granted we do alot of bobtailing)
-
Good deal, those older style headlights are crap (compared to the new ones).
Yep, 14L= 515 @ 2100 rpm! Hearing the motor screaming along near that rpm is kinda interesting, at least the first time! Does it at least have power windows ,as opposed to power window, RHS side only? And power mirror/mirrors? -
Nope, RHS only and no power mirrors.
-
Passenger side power window is a definate MUST HAVE. I wouldn't have a truck without one. I use it every time I back to that side.
-
You mean a passenger side power Mirror, right? I do the same thing.
Which BTW, after taking delivery yesterday, I realized I have PS Power Mirror.
