Question to those with the 3500 HO's

I turned 42 this year, but everything has hurt for about 10-15 years. Who knew my military supervisors telling me to lift properly and wear hearing protection were right?
 
Did you know that as ice cream sales increase, the infant mortality rate also increases? Yep, its 100% true! So this means ice cream kills babies, right? Uh, no. Ice cream sales increase during the summer because its hotter outside, and more infants die in the hotter summer months vs the colder ones for various reasons-- but none of those reasons have to do with ice cream. What I'm sayin' homie, is that I think your knee issue and the truck issue are simply a matter of timing but are not related circumstances because theres no physical difference with the truck's pedal position or seats or anything else concerning a 4.5 gen 2500 vs a 3500 interior. (Lots of shopping, reading, learning, and test drives led to this conclusion.)
 
I must be doing something right. I turned 90 last month, my knees don't hurt and my 2020 HO was a comfortable 2000 mile roundtrip drive. That said, when I got tired of driving one of my daughters took the wheel going, and my son did the same returning. I didn't have to adjust anything except move from the driver seat to the passenger seat, easy peasy!
I usually drive the whole trip, my children insist I don't do that anymore - I am blessed.

You have good genes John.

I played hockey and football as a kid, 8 years in the military, and have Osteoarthritis so my knees are f**ked. I'm partial bone on bone at this point. I'm doing gel injections every 6 months, cortisone in between those, and just milking this until I turn 65 and get on medicare and get new knees.
