Thanks for all the nice words!

Leather was $1200 even and the DVD was $650. I did the leather in my crew cab and I'm usually very stingy but I will say NEVER again. At that price it's worth every penny and my hands are thanking me!

After getting this thing home I discovered an oil leak. I dropped it off at the dealer and also let them know that the transmission runs right to 200 degrees in normal conditions. They found a valve cover leak and said the trans temp was normal, although I disagree. It may be within operating limits but is not consistent with the other 6 speeds I know of. I'm going to put a cooler on to bring it down and extend the life. Repairs were done under warranty.

A little dissappointing was the service history. It has been in once before for oil leaks, which was a pan gasket. It also had an AFM lifter failure, where the replaced the VLOM solenoids, 8 lifters and he cam! I'm also wondering why after about 500 miles we can't pull any better than 13.9 mpg and that's taking it easy. I'm pondering what I will be doing to improve that.

Still happy but keeping my eye on this beast!
