My new 04

got my new truck this past friday and love it. It was a great clean truck and the price was better than I had even wanted.

some dealer photos
Pics







from the beach meet with my 08 tails.





specs. 04 crew cab lariat, 169K 6.0L with straight pipe and cat (soon to be deleted) it has perfect leather and paint, wheels are 20"s and it has some nice upgrades over the 150 such as adjustable pedals parking sensors and cruise control

i did run into an issue at the beach and turns out i have a vac leak to the auto hubs and i will be addressing it with the dealer tomorrow.

otherwise i have already ordered a new radio for it and working on getting an afe stage 2 intake. getting pioneer avh 4300dvd and the ipod cable and bypass on order already.

i paid around 13.7K for it. and for an extra 2300 i could have gotten an 05 6.0 with a few more options and the same miles. wasnt worth it to me.

before it tune it, it will get studded etc. im gonna work my way to that level thought. if you think about it it has 169K and its basically stock motor wise and im not gonna be messing with that till i can afford the 2700 to do the studs and that will be later this yr after we get a tahoe for my fiance

Congrats on the new truck. Skip fixing the auto hubs, they suck. Go for Warns. Much better!

what you could do is see if they will put them on for free and if they get them only charge you the extra after the price of the stock

so just saying if

labor was 120 = free
stock auto hubs 200
warns 300
they should only charge you 100
but if you can get them to do it for free thats always better
