Got my truck today it is sitting in the driveway resting comfortably, plotting ways to kill me in new and exciting ways. My wife is already finding ways to drive it to work.
On to the fun stuff.
2005 Black Regular cab
10K miles
One Owner
All options
6/60K full warranty till Jan 2012
BONE STOCK.
There are a few small scratches on the truck and small amount of scruff on the bumper which should come out with the porter-cable. Its black after all. Even the original tires are in good shape and not worn down to far.
I am so glad I did not get the blue air-bagged truck, this one is way to much fun being able to toss it around without worrying about breaking something. :burnout:
A few strange observations.
I seem to get decent gas mileage I drove about 80 miles today after topping off the tank ~3.7 gallons gone after I refilled. I have been hot footing it around but mainly on the freeway. I was expecting like 10 not 20. It sits at ~1.4K rpm at 65 mph which is the only thing that would account for that.
Just how big is the gas tank, it seems huge. I am guessing ~27 gallons.
Will the lowing kit help with the rear end bouncing around. Truck gets planted in a hurry with he power on but just driving around normally it feels a little light and bouncy.
It needs to be much louder, I think I like the mid pipe/K&N mix that I heard on you-tube. I just want it to sound stock just louder.
I am very happy with the truck. I had been fighting my instincts on buying another car due to the economy but it gives me a lot a joy and I need a truck to haul around light but bulky items all the time for work. It will not relace the BMW for daily use but i t will keep me sane.
