I don't know what happened. In previous post it was there. Next post, it's gone. I guess I forgot to save it after I updated it. 
So far, I'm impressed with my new ride. This Week I pulled 2 10K loads. That's 28K gross. It felt much more stable in the curves and stops, then my regular 3500 ever did. Did you guys have to get a weight sheet after the bed was install so the dealer could complete the registration. I ran across the scales at Loves and with 1/2 tank of ULSD, my truck weights in at 8100#. Truck and trailer is 18K. I still need to add atleast 2 underbody tool boxes and then all my tools, spare parts, chains, straps and boomers. That'll add a few hundred pounds.

Glad you like your truck.. How was the squat factor when you were loaded?

Check post #2 in this thread. See. I just logged out and back in. We'll see if that makes any difference. My sig shows up in the ( preview post mode).
Anyway, It didn't squat as much as the regular 3500 did and I had airbags on it. Although I never put in more then 25psi. The 25psi just held up the trailer and then I could get a rough idea of the weight on the rear axle by checking the pressure and the squat.
I posted this and my sig didn't show. When I go back and select edit and then save, my sig shows in the post.
Any ideas on what's going on?????

I'm thinking there could be some alien 
intervention going on here with the missing sigs.. I have noticed that on a few other threads as well
Sounds like the new truck is going to work out for you. I'll bet you love that E-brake pulling the loads you described.

You maybe right about the aliens.
As for as I'm concerned, the e brake is the best thing sense sliced bread. When I test drove the auto's it worked good in tow/haul mode and ok in normal drive. I'm sure pulling a load, it would act differently. But in the manual, It's the cats meow.
Lets see if we sneak one by and get the sig working this time.
