Can't really argue with getting a Cummins paired with a 6spd manual. Hopefully the rest of the truck holds up around it! Congrats on yer' new ride.

well im loving it so far, i miss the F150 but i remember why i missed my Cummins so much. havent gotten a chance to take great pics yet but heres a few. next on the list are some new BFG AT's (unless anyone has anything else for sale by chance) and probably new headlights. and a head unit of course, cant live with the stock one much longer

Those headlights can most likely be cleaned up with a headlight kit

I read somewhere that toothpaste works and I tried it on my Taurus when I had it. It actually did work pretty good. I'm sure a good headlight cleaner would be better but for the cost the toothpaste worked fine for me.

I used Colgate to try and keep the bugs from sticking. Might want to try Sensodyne to keep them from freezing.

the Dodge 2500/3500's come with the flip up towing mirrors

and thanks MTM, may have to look into that. next step is probably tires. im now debating. a set of 10-ply BFG AT's installed is around $1050, but ialso have a line on a set of 10-ply Toyo MT's with less than 400 miles on them for $700. so im between those 2 options for tires, and i think im leaning towards the Toyo's. but the nice thing about the BFG's is that they'd have road hazard, mileage warranty, rotations, etc.
