WOOHOO 05 3500 is mine!!!

So happy to get my new truck last night. Put it to work today. Got a 05 crew 3500 CTD w/6spd...so plain its even white...I've been hunting to replace old blue and thought I'd be getting a nearly new truck but when I contacted Greenway dodge in orlando they quoted me $27k for a new one (guess no one wanted a super plain truck...tow package, AC, radio...thats it)...hell...I was looking at a 00 3500 w/ 90k on it for $23k...I thought why not pop for the new one....turned out to be just short of $30 when I walked out (you know how dealers are)...I"M SO HAPPY WITH MY NEW TRUCK...just had to share.
So whats the first cheap mod I should do...

Oh...and the kids named it SNOWBALL...so I call it snowball 5...

Sounds good. It's a 6 spd? I thought the first year for the 6 spd was 2001 behind the H.O. programmed 24v. It's not a 5 spd?

First thing I would do is get guages and turn the pump up...

After re-reading your post I'm guessing you meant 2005.....

I'm guessing you have to explain why your always running around with that on your face! Congratulations, you shouldn't have any problem running in 6th out there....
