Congrats on the new truck, you will love it. I have an 07 5.9 and still love driving it.

I have an 07 with the 6.7 and love it. Congrats! That's low mileage for its age and the 4.10s make it a pulling beast, I bet.

Don't hook this to trailer that feels like it doesn't want to move. The trailer will lose!

I spent a couple of hours tonight peeling the pin stripes off. Who ever said they would leave a ghost image is sort of correct. On both the top and bottom of where the stipe came off, there is a ridge left behind. I can't tell if its glue, or a ridge in the clear. Between my finger nail and some pretty coarse buffing compound on my dual action buffer, its coming off, but taking some time.

So far I'm averaging about 20 mpg, which is amazing. I did a little research and read the sticker on the side of the engine, and its a 305hp engine. It also has a Air Raid intake system. The box almost looks stock, but the tube after the box also has Air Raid written on it so I assume its part of a system.

Would a K&N cleaning kit work for the Air Raid filter? They look like an oiled filter.

Try the Smooth Surface Clay Kit from Meguiars. It works really well and won't harm the paint. I had a dealer get paint over spray on my truck while it was being serviced. It took the over spray and everything else off so well I did the entire truck with it. MeguiarsDirect.com: Smooth Surface® Clay Kit

Hope you have as much good luck with your 04 as I have had with mine.Just turned 300k, only major repair has been a a tranny rebuild. Considering that the first 290k were pulling a 40' G/N in a hotshot business, thats not bad. Mine has the 3.73 gears with 6spd and average high teens into the 20's on mpg(truck w/o trailer).

You have the 2003 H.O. engine which is rated at 305hp/555lb.ft, they made a 2004.5 model with a revised engine making 325hp/600lb.ft appropriately named the "600".

With the programmer and intake, your probably making the same or more as the revised engine anyways.

Now everyone needs to stop posting these 20 mpg figures before I go trade my 16 mpg 1/2 ton HEMI for a 3/4 ton oil burner.
