We be smilin today......lol

Ok got my truck back today from the dealer. They replaced 2 O2 sensors and the NAC cat. Came straight home and hooked up to the trailer and took her down the hwy. Yaaaaah no more gear hunting and it stays in 6th except on a couple of the steeper, longer hills. It down shifts sooner then the old truck, but that I can say yes it may be the big tires..or it was the wind today (30-45 mph).... The fuel mileage is also where it should be that I can see so far, averaged out at 11.5 on that short trip, a darn sight better then the 8 it was getting.

I'm glad it is now running the way it should. I can well understand your elation. Hope your miles are trouble free from now on.

After doing a lot of internet time investigating all this I believe you are right. To keep these trucks running right you got to drive it like you stole it...lol lol
