Been thinking since I'm going to eventually replace my front bumper, grille surround and Pad I may do the 09+ swap and do the HIDs. Just gather parts over time here and there. Think I might go with the flair side bed too.

Yeah this was the first time I've only had to buy 6 spark plugs.
Unless the 6 are in a straight line that is

My oil burning 5.0 with 4700 miles including past weekend with 400 miles of heavy towing
Computer said 50% on oil with 4700 miles, went ahead and did oil change today. Second oil change and 8400 miles on the truck now
MPG 10.54 heading down to Georgetown (about 200 miles) Display said 10.8
MPG 11.22 heading back home (almost 200 miles) Display said 12.0
Towed very confident, never felt out of control, most of the time I kept 6th locked out because it would want to kick out of 6th as soon as it had a slight hill. Most hills on I35 it would pull in 5th just fine, with a mile or two lost on speed
