    Seeming that the red or blue ones are my favorites, and my 9yr olds too!:biggrin_2559:
    I know the right truck is out there, so will keep on looking for the one I want etc.
    Thanks!

    Brand new (1586 miles) 2009. Had DPF but non of the other junk.
    Made me a killer deal, so subject to finance rates, will be doing the deal Monday
    Full lockers, extra insulation, and so on. The some 'tard put a non air ride passenger seat in it! Not bothered as I remove passenger seats in my trucks for the dog. Dealer is transferring my ramps, headache rack, step box, and new leather seat into the new rig if the deal goes down. They didn't really want my old Freightshaker, but I guess he figured he would rather have $18k tied up into a truck instead of $100k sat on the lot for another 3 yrs.
    No numbers, but way under $100k including trading my 06 Columbia with 882k miles on it.
    Will update Monday.
    Is SIX airbags under the cab and sleeper normal? there are 2 either side of the shocks under the cab, then 2 more under the sleeper.

    4 shocks and 2 airbags?
    Near opposite of this one with 2 shocks and 6 airbags then huh?
    I guess it's there to make it ride all smooooth etc, time will tell me thinks!
    36hrs to go, and then the decision will be made!

    I would like pics of this set up too!!

    I have the ultra high 80" bunk and it has the two air bags and four shocks as well. Another set of bags would sure be nice, I can't seem to get these to lift the cab to the correct ride height.
