But inquiring minds want know.
You just have to have a truck order come in AFU and have to re-order.
It's kinda like the odds of catching COVID-19.
Like you said, patience is the key, but bundle that with your first rig being AFU, an the two combined together will reap huge rewards. If you don't lose your mind. He seemed to do pretty well, hell of a lot better than I would have
We'll, I've not heard from 1hemi today. Probably slept in it last night an had breakfast lunch an super delivered to him, oh wait that's my dream. Probably setting up his u connect, seat, mirror, s wheel, pedals all on memory. Hooking up the trailers an programming those In. Hope yer enjoying it brother an I'm not to far behind yah an it will be like a vacation for every body when i drop off the grid for a while to break her in.
Ps: coal roll the neighbors for us to mark your territory

Sorry, I was out of touch. Had to go up the country, Made sure the critter still had enough food and water and to make sure they were ok.
I also paired my utility TTPMS to the truck, it took 3 time to do it but the 3rd time was a charm.
Adjusted my tire pressure on the truck, some tires were over 100psi ? I guess my dealer forgot to check them. HA HA.
1st Mod to Truck: Took both front tires off the truck and modified the turning radius. It now turns in almost a 3 foot smaller circle. (See Pics Below)
Adjusted Hitch ball for correct height for what I pull.
Tried to figure out how I am going to make the new Mud Flaps.
Graded my road, I could almost see China.
I will probably go back up the country again for the rest of the week, To many tings need attention.

Hey hey there yah are. Man, she's only 24hrs old an your cutting her up already, obviously like you said, it's turning radius is 3ft smaller but can you actually tell a difference when you Make a tight turn? I bet it road like a brick at 100psi. Glad to hear your enjoying hour new rig. Did they cut out your restrictor plate?

It rode solid and firm at that high of air pressure, we felt every bump in the road.... Front tires are now at 75 and rears are at 60 now and it rides much better now. And yes you can tell a difference when making shorter turns now especially at neighbor hood turn arounds.
The restrictor plate is gone now and I put in larger injectors, headers, Banks Intake and turbo, and on the way home I blew the doors off a Corvette, I even stopped half way before the next light so I could use the Blower to blow up the doll. I still won the race.... LOL
holy mackerel, how did you get all that done on it so fast, that's allot of work. You've got her tuned up to rumble, you do all that yourself or have the crew over to tear it down. I do Like that hack of cutting the steering stop blocks off, I might do that to mine when the wife ain't home, lol. Just out of curiosity does that void any kind of mechanical warranty because it pushes steering components to the limit?

Possibly, Only it they know what they are looking at and notice it I cleaned and painted the spots Black and by then it will be coated in who knows how much road film. I used a 4.5 in disc grinder with a cut off wheel and guard removes so I could bet in the tight spot. Had to remove front wheels and turn steering wheel so I could gt at it better... Only do at your own risk and Officially I Do Not Recommend It..
Keep in mind if you cut to much off you could run into problems including tire rub or other steering problems.

The packer trucks weren't AWD were they?
Nope, you could lock in the differentials an kick off the atc an roast all 8 tires though
Were you ever able to find out the settings to get the limiter taken off?
Also interested in the 5MPH cruise. Asked the dealer about that one and they said they legally couldn't do it. Helps having a buddy I guess.
Do you have AlphaOBD to pull the settings?

I haven't been back in to get the mods or changes made to the computer yet. I worked it out with the dealer to get it all done at the first oil change. When I get it done, I will change the color of that item in my signature to match all the other items I have completed
Sorry, I don't have an AlphaOBD. Would love to have one but, with my luck I would mess something up and wouldn't remember what or how I did it to put it back.

Thats me on the alpha obd, I want one but Im afraid of what ill do with it and screw something up. I'd actually be interested to hear from some folks what they were able to change in there system with the alpha obd. From most of my listening in on this topic that you need to purchase extra wire harnesses and it doesn't seam to really correct most of our major b/+@#=s that we have with this model. I love to see the systems info as much as the next guy, ( it's very fascinating), but what can you actually change with the alpha obd? I ask this ? As some one who is interested not as a smart alleck.
