    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 :(

    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?

    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.
