    "In tank pump" supplying 60 psi? Pretty cool; sure hope it's reliable.

    I'm still new to the who idea of urea injection, DPFs and the like, so I was taken aback when I saw temps north of 1000 deg after the DPF (my old Edge reports 4 temp zones on the exhaust). The engine ramps upwards of 750 rpm on occasion and you can smell the exhaust baking- even after being on the road for 4+ hours @ highway speeds (65-70). I thought regens didn't have to happen regularly if you're running above 30 mph for 30 minutes or longer at a time. My Edge shows a blank field under "regens completed". Looks like I still have more to experience. I also wonder about the accuracy of the urea tank level as it seemingly didn't show any increase after adding 2.5 gal. If this is really a (5.3 gal) tank, adding nearly half that volume should've shown some increase in tank level.

    As to the exposed trans cooler, I've already got a couple of fins bent over by road debris and it clogs up with snow/ice. It may not be a big deal, but I'd rather see some protection up front.

    Just ordered some nice RuffTuff seat covers and after the winter crap subsides, maybe some fender flairs and window vents. I'll add more pics later. Hopefully, my current pics are available for viewing. Just past 1 month of ownership and I've logged ~4800 miles thus far. Best fuel mileage within a 50 mile window was ~25.6 (pure freeway driving, empty bed).
