Greetings from the furnace... AZ

Specs are perfect for its intended use, deal was right, bought it 4-19-25.
Left over '24, 4x4, Aisin, 50 ga fuel, 4:10 w/ limited slip, dual alternators, Laramie 1, puck system, 14,000 # GVW, 43,000 GCWR.
Enough tech to keep me entertained but not so much to be bothersome.
I have since upfit it, which I'll cover in another post.
Very, very pleased w/ it and how the upfit turned out.
Only "observation" I can come up with is the Uconnect can be "glitchy".
Love, love, love the LED lighting. Normally one of the 1st things my vehicles get is either Rigid or Baja designs DOT / SAE fog lights. Not needed on this.
And the upfitter switches "system" is simply genius.
Then the A/C. My '05 (owned it since '11).. well if you have owned a 3rd gen, you know the A/C is questionable at best, however I thought my '16 F-350 was real good... this is freezer level, even here in AZ.

congrats! if you're ever in Phoenix and need a shop to work on your rig. Look up Poor Boy Diesel. Used these a few times for either maintenance or performance.

I'm based in Mesa but run all over AZ.
Timmy's, 67th Ave / Broadway is real good, but real hard to get on his schedule.
Thanks for the lead.

Nice truck! I had an 05 NV5600 2500 for 12 years, in the AZ heat it Sucked. We just picked up a 21 3500 in Pearl, HO Aisin Limited. Completely different truck that the old 05.

Very nice Mega cab. Some day I'll have a mega cab just because I think it is one of the sexiest trucks made..

Congrats and welcome.
Got a uncle in Phoenix. Was out visiting and they opened the back door that evening. I was wondering who opened the oven. Way too hot for me.
But nothing like standing watch on a Navy ship in Bahrain in the middle of the night. 100 plus degrees and 100% humidity.
