You are going to love this truck! Just a few things you might want to do: Get the HD tranny gears, the stockers suck. You will need to buy shims to shim the new tranny gears because they are very narrow, you will see what i mean if you buy them. Also ditch the metal spur and use just a normal plastic one, you will need to buy the bronze bushing from you LHS. The plastic gear is much quieter and will not destroy pinion gears. I have went through 2 RCM pinions on mine before i decided to switch to the plastic spur. Plus the plastic purs are like 3 bucks, where a good quality pinion is around 15-20.
