My truck was supposed to be built this week but I was surprized to find out that it's already on the way to CSXT rail line to take a trip up to me. I should probably have the keys in about 2 weeks. I think this will only be about 6 weeks after I placed the order.


A BIG thank you goes out to Howard. He is a very nice person to talk to and VERY helpful!

Howard is the MAN. My truck is headed east as we speak. It looks like I'll be taking my dog Lucy for her last ride in the F-350 this weekend. The F-350 goes in the swapper next week!!!

I wonder if they are on the same train :)


My Suburban is listed in the Trader and is also on E Bay with no reserve. That seems to be working pretty good. It will be sold to someone on Friday.

I posted this in a different thread -


Here is a quick rundown of some of the mods that will be going on after it comes in -


Precision Billet Grill (stainless)


Grill frame painted red


Sierra Denali headlights and door handles (handles and mirrors painted red)


Low beams and driving lights upgraded to HID


Spray in bed liner


Tint


37x13.5/17 ProComp Xterrain tires are wrapped around 17x8.5" Weld Evo Renegade XT wheels

9” Cognito lift – front section powdercoated red

Driveshaft polished and clear coated


4.56 gears


Kenwood DDX7015 2-DIN In-Dash 6.5" Monitor DVD/CD/MP3/WMA with Navigation, voice recognition ect…


9” Screens behind each of the headrests


Microsoft X-Box


Two back-up cameras. One to see behind me and one pointing towards the hitch


Volant or VaraRam induction


Programming - either TTS, Westers or the Edge


Corsa exhaust (not released yet) or MBRP exhaust


I might see what a turbo upgrade will be good for. And finally, all of this will probably lead to a transmission upgrade. I think I'll leave the rest of the truck stock :)

Just got a call from my dealer. The truck is in MA so it might be ready to be picked up by the end of this week.
