.... No not yet! I will have to go by tomorrow and collect that huge $50 check..... I have sold 30+ Trucks for those guys in the last 4 years at $50 a Truck/Car 
...... Just met a Dodge Dealership owner that stated he would pay me $450 a Truck and $200 a Car....... BUT, M&L Motors will sell for less and that is what I like about sending people there. If you do the work and talk them down you can always get a good deal. Glad Joe got the Truck..Not for the $50 in my pocket, but because I know he will Love it!!!Boost

Hey Boost,
I am so glad you are getting some $$$ for sending me to the right place to get my truck. They need to hire you fulltime!!
And Boaterman is right, I do LOVE this truck.

Will do on the pictures of the truck working. Jason has put the installation of the hitch off until Wednesday because the air bags won't be in until Tuesday late.

First pull!
We traveled from Sherrill's Ford, NC to Charleston, SC today pulling the 39 foot (now 41 ft, with the addition of the rear bike rack) and I must say, it was a great trip. Smooth sailing. I put the cruise on 60 mph and we were there in about 5 hours. Pulled into Oak Plantation Campground for at least 3 nights, maybe more because there is a lot to see and do in this area.
There were a couple of spots on I-26 from Columbia to Charleston that had the concrete sections that reminded me of washboards, ie. bumpy roads. The EZ floater hitch handled it like a charm. The truck was great, but on the bumpy part, we could feel the bumps. On the smoother parts, the truck was absolutely wonderful ride-wise. The wife remarked that it was much smoother riding than she expected it to be.
I did find one problem that I will need to get checked out at the Dodge dealer when we get back to Texas........riding at 60 mph, it was smooth as silk; riding at 62, it got a little bumpy even on a smooth road; riding at 65, it was very bumpy. So we rode at 60, which was fine with me since that is the speed I like to tow at even when we had the Ford. I'm thinking it is a tire slightly out of balance.
No pictures yet, because it was raining much of the day.
We are traveling with Boaterman and his super wife, Judy for the next few weeks. Boaterman has a 5500 also. His is white.

...... SWEET..... I would say those tires you have on there could be the issue......Remember how long that thing had sat there, so you may want to have them all replaced through Warranty.....!! I will help you with that if needed.Great to hear she did good on the Tow! Looking forward to the pictures

Boost,
I'd love for you to help with replacing the tires through warranty, but we've left North Carolina and will not be back that way again for probably a year. We're headed south to SC and Georgia, and then west to Texas. I'll have a Texas dealer look at it when we get there.
Thanks for the offer.

Well, the bumpy ride must have been that stretch of road. The past two days have seen me hit 67 towing and it has been smooth. We are in Mobile, Alabama for the next 6 days.
Here is a pict of the truck hooked up to the fifth wheel. Of course, the wife now says we need some red on the trailer. Yeah right, like that's going to happen.
