Ok Thomas, I will spill it for you. I own a 00 Quad Cab, 4.7 auto, 3.55
gears, and she rocks. Sold my 99 GMC 5.3 for this puppy. Awsome truck, great
comfort, I'm 6ft 3" tall. I would recommend the bucket seats though, I have
the bench. Some things you should check on your truck before you accept it.
Take a close look at the paint, mine had severe orange peel. It also had a
couple of runs in the clear coat. ( all resolved now though). Check the
front bumper for one side being a little higher than the other. You can
expect the bed of the truck to sit slightly to the left side of the frame.
They all have that problem. If you get the two tone paint job, check for
clean lines at the color split. I would HIGHLY recommend the infinity stereo
system. I love mine. It rocks! For the first 8k miles, don't expect very
good fuel milage. After that, it gets better. I do alot of towing, so I'm
not sure how good it is now, but I have notices a good increase. I'm at
10,500 now. I run Mobile 1 synth motor oil and like that. I plan on the TB
upgrade, K&N filter and Hopefully the Headers and Cat back for sure. I have
the Mopar computer on order. In summary, I Love this truck. Hope you find
the same results.
Jimmy
