-- Steve -- that 'new' tail pipe cost much??
Local Dodge dealer has a 'Risterol' model Megacab in that my wife loves but it doesn't have the tow package (no tow mirrors???, and only 4 pin plug on the back. Dealer tells me (and ABQ dealer told me the same thing) that Dodge built these and then filled dealer orders after the fact... doesn't make sense why they would build a diesel heavy duty and not put a tow package on it!!!! In any case, off topic but had to comment on that tail pipe.
Neighbor's 2008 Duramax has close to 24K on it now and tail pipe is not sooted up at all either...He swears by it and delivers horse trailers for a local builder.
