Lovin' Every Minute of It!

I got my new '04.5 7/21/04. It's a 2500 4x4 QC, Atlantic blue 6 speed, 3.73 LSD. The only thing I did'get that I wanted was a rear slider.
I think I've only had one day that I have'nt driven it. Man this thing is just so much fun to drive.

I have'nt been this excited about having a new vehicle since my '90 Thunderbird SC.
I spent a good amount of time browsing the site before I bought it. I learned alot of what to expect and what possible problems may lie ahead.
I've only made one trip to the dealer for a problem. The radiator was damaged during assembly. Looked like whoever was installing it dropped it and decided to put it in anyway. It did'nt leak, the dealer replaced it without question.
So far I'm getting 16 to 18.5 MPG. I do alot of rural driving and a little city. Probably 70/30.
I've installed the Mopar mnuflaps and the rear wheel well liner kit. I've also installed a Undecover hard toneu cover.
I'm going to try to attach a couple of pics. Hopefully they'll show up.
