Greeneville is probably 6 hours or so east of Memphis.

I just got finished painting my tail lights black and am working on the headlights right now.

This morning I checked out and fixed the driver side window switch that wasn't working properly and readjusted the passenger side windshield wiper. I thought it set a little bit too high when in off position.

I guess I just like piddling around with this truck as much as I can.

nice truck man! i will warn you(i'm super surprised no one has yet) that our trucks (04-08) run lean from the factory, so putting a cold air on them without getting a custom tune, well it isnt the best idea.. I would def. think about getting a gryphon or at the very least an edge

Ok man, thanks for the advice. The truck already had the K&N FIPK installed when I bought it. I am planning on getting a programmer for it as soon as I can afford one. I've read on here that they give a nice power increase too

I don't think I need a screen or adjustment while driving or anything like I would in a diesel so I'm thinking about going with SCT. I had great luck out of them in my Mustang. I still have the unlocked SCT Xcal 1 lying around but can't seem to find anybody to program it to my truck so I guess I gotta buy a new Xcal 3 or luck up and find a used Xcal 2 for a decent price

I finally removed the silver pinstripe that came on my truck. It just peeled right off and then i used a little Goo Gone to get rid of the stickey residue. Looks great now. Thanks for the suggestions guys

Beautiful truck! Finally someone else from Greene County! I live up in the Jearoldstown area. I remember seeing your super duty once or twice around Greeneville.

Hey man, whats up? I traded that truck in Knoxville kinda hoping it would stay there so I wouldn't see it around every now and then and start missing it. I saw it about a week ago in Colonel Heights dangit. Ah, its all good.

KEEP the MUDFLAPS!

Them and the step bars will prevent a lot of chipping .... and that color will show chips easy as it is!

Nice truck, beautiful area of Tennessee too.

Ain't there a little drive in stand on 321 just north of town .... I think it's north of Greenville. Always closed when we go by!
