New '05 in the driveway

Well, we finally did the "deed". Had been looking at an '05 3500 dually for a while. Couldn't make up my mind between 4wd & 2wd, but when all was said and done.....we got the 4wd. Went from a 2nd gen 2wd swb to this

what a huge change! Love the room in the back for the boys, they like having their own windows & doors

, nice ride and alot of conveniences. Anxious to tow with this, need to install the 5er hitch this week
It was tough saying good bye to the old truck

, wife doesn't understand, but it was time

. I already miss the rattle, the dog heard me pull into the driveway. Not sure what shes thinking now

I did alot of searching and reading on here, found answers to all my questions. I'll be doing alot more as time moves on...as I hadn't spent much time looking at the 3rd gen forum, ie gauge locations. Gotta update my signature... Enjoythe rest of the holiday weekend.
