It's a great feeling isn't it? :D 8) :D
It makes such a difference to the truck.
Engine noise, fan noise, heat,fuel consumption.... All waaay better than when it was a 3 speed.

Well done.

Cheers

yup, I wish they would have done it this way from the start. There is no reason to ever go back. I wish I'd done it a year ago.

Very nice! Is that with a 6.2L engine, or did you upgrade to a 6.5?
