Thanks- I plan to color match the handles soon. How big of a job is is? Do I need paintable handles? I don't know how long the break in period is, I'm gonna dump the oil and 1,000 miles or so, that's for sure..........

P.S. The Red is growing on me.........

What are you waiting for? Beat the hell out of it NOW! The break-in period crap is a myth.

Those of us with the 6.2's may have beat it if yours has the nht package and 14 bolt semifloater rear. Guess we'll see if I get a letter in the mail to verify that or not.

I'll get right on it. BTW- I thought the 2 and part time 4wd 6.2s got the hybrid 9.5" rear. And where can I get a rubber mat for the bed.........
