I'm not wild about the color, Graystone, and it is missing a sunroof but has everything else.

The PO added the Delphi trouchscreen Nav system which makes it work almost exactly like my Suburban did. There is a port for me to add a back-up camera also.
A Curt mfg goose neck hide a ball system was in the truck with Air Lift bags installed.

With all the extras and low miles it seems pretty good. I will be adding Alcoa wheels, changing the running boards, adding a bed cap and a few other things that I prefer. The class 3 hitch will have to go for a class V also.


This should do ok with a Formula 382. :D

You made the right choice with 4x4. It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

I agree, grey sucks.

REAL trucks don't have sunroofs. Or spark plugs. :D

I had air bags in my Dodge dually and they made the ride worse.

I have a moonroof in my new Dodge Laramie and love it. I even have a moonroof in my Kenworth and its great. You have to take into consideration the source of all comments that arise from Cat.

I do like my sunroofs. Only 2 of my previous trucks did not have them and since I'm planning on keeping this one for a while I may install one.


What did you have for shocks?
I'm planning on Bilsteins for this truck. I wonder if the bags give me some bounce with these stock shocks. I never keep stock shocks and people are always amazed at how well my trucks ride. After the Bilstein shocks go on I can re-evaluate the ride and see how the air is doing.


When I start working on the truck I have seriously thought about changing the color. We shall see.

Bilstein is a great shock. I am still running my factory Ranchos. they are pretty cheap so i will prob replace with them.

I never changed shocks on my truck but I've heard that KYB is a good shock. I don't think you can go wrong with either one.
