I saw that as well. I researched the hell out of it before I did it just to be sure.

Still loving the new 5.0? Power is pretty awesome in those

You can get one at WalMart for $100,000 but they're from China!

I guess it's all perspective!

Next Monday is the first day of school down here in Texas, and that means for the first time since the last week of May I will be able to work in my home office in peace! Both my wife (first grade teacher) and my son (third grader) will be off to school for another year, and the second their car disappears around the corner that morning you are going to see this white boy dancing like Michael Jackson in the driveway......

Now if God can just help me make it through this last brutal week of "togetherness".....

It's pretty impressive. Definitely thinking tuner will make a world of difference. I've felt sometimes it up/down shifts earlier or later than I expect. Sometimes it feels less natural feeling if that makes sense. Ready to have firmer crisper shifts. This trans is so sloppy feeling between shifts.

Still debating on gears. I may do tuner first and see how she does

That was like my truck. Nice and crisp now. I know what you mean... kind of uncoordinated and lazy
