Are you the only guy in FLA that drives a black truck...I thought most vehicles in FLA are white.
Do they have better resale value if they are white???

Bought new in August 1988 and it spends most of the time covered in the garage. Only 74,000 miles which include the 2200 mile trip to Orlando Florida to pick up my 98 Euroski. I added the tires and lowered suspension 2 inches a few yaers ago but other than that it all stock... something has got to change soon Been thinking of adding a supercharger kit to add some excitement getting to the river!

2002 2500 HD Diesel
Most of you have seen mine already. Just talked to a HP supplier about a new reprogramer that just came out for the truck. Costs $900.00 and adds 90 HP by itself. He also suggested a K&N filter and 4" exaust. That would take me from 510 foot pounds of tork right now. To over 900 foot pounds of tork, all for about $1600.00 He said this new chip that just came out has neck snapping tork. It would chirp the tires all the way to 2nd gear.
I ordered the truck in an LT. It has every option exept 4 wheel steering. That was another $4000.00 and I already had a window sticker of almost $43,000.00 I kinda wish I had it now

I just installed the module and K&N filter yesterday. HOLY CRAP!!!! What a ROCKET I can do a break stand now and burn the tires all the way through first gear. Dead stop just mashing it to the floor will get the tires chirping all the way through first gear. It hits second and pulls like crazy. I orderd the 4" exaust today and then its off to the drag strip
