Nice!!!

Get rid of the K&N, I have heard mixed reviews on them... my service manager said that they let small particles into the turbo. I have an Airaid, and after 10K, there is no dust inside my turbo tube. See my mods, I'm getting 18.9 on the hwy, and I brought my tire pressure up to 10psi above the max pressure. Not too much $$$, I feel good about what I'm getting. With 4.10's to boot!

Congrats on the new truck!

I have been running the K&N filter since new on my 2005 (65000 miles) and several of my friends do as well. All without problems.
K&N was recomended by out local diesel shop.

Quebec plate

Have to get the rig weight in order to pay cheaper plate . so I am more worry about the green men than the police.

Mine is usually reads 1.2-1.5 more than I am actually getting. For example last week my overhead read 19.6. I hand calculated it and I got 17.9.
