Newbie Bites The Bullet

Just bought a new (Red) 2006 Dodge Laramie Diesel Quad Cab 3500 last night. Needed it for occasionally towing a rather big boat. It has the full load of bells and whistles. Anything the membership can tell me about this truck that I should be made aware of ? Would really appreciate any info, good or bad. Thanks.

He means that we're going to tell you to get upgrades. Once some people start, they just keep on going. I don't know about you 06. It should be good!

n00b Alert~! What does B O M B stand for? I know it has something to do with the disease of "Mo Powa" by constantly modding your oil burners, but don't know what the letters stand for, if anything.

Cool..now *** does "AFC" stand for, in reference to AFC housing? I keep thing "Air Fuel Controller" or "Automatic Fuel Controller" or "Awesome Fun Cummins" because that housing holds all the fun? But I have no idea.
