I keep opening this thread hoping i get a good report from the OP.
Talk about high jacking. :S
OP here. About a page or so back I did say I got the truck back but not much else. I have been driving it for two weeks and took a test tow for about 20 miles to get the hitch set up and the factory brake controller dialed in. It works real nice. I drive about 62 - 65 when towing and the fuel gauge (I know, I know) indicated 10.5 mpg. We finally took it on a short weekend camping trip last weekend. Our current TT is only about 5000 plus lb. loaded so the truck really doesn’t know it’s there which is what I expected. It has some serious get up and go but time will tell when it has a real load behind it. It will most likely be a year until we get the 5er we want and that dry weight ( I know, I know) is about 8000 lb. Well within this beast’s wheelhouse.
We’re leaving in the morning for a four day trip and I’m looking forward to some real highway miles and to see how well it holds cruise. There are some minor hills and I don’t expect a problem.
The repair is good so far and I’m pleased with the results as long as it holds up under real world use.
