Thanks I was looking forward to that.  My truck is actually in the
dealership, but I can't get to NY for a week or 2, so it just sits there
waiting for me.  We got the Chrysler gps, Sirius built in radio for work
9yeah that?s it lol).  I am looking forward to the routing for all our
junkyards we hit for scrap.

I will let you know what the real deal is on it after it hits 4000 miles and
the computer resets itself.  I have been hearing mid 20's loaded now and
mid-high 20's empty.  I still plan to get the chip and boost that up a bit
as well.

My parents neighbor just got a new 3500duly Cummings... The have made so 
so many improvements its not even funny, and with all the sound 
insulation it no longer sounds like a locomotive engine.
