    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.....
