Hey Mark,
Thanks, the boards are made by Owens

Man what a nice truck. The 6.6 and Allison are awesome. I flew out to Ohio and picked it up. Drove it 8.5 hrs home with the cruise locked at 70.
Truck averaged 19.8 MPG !! I was pleasantly surprised. Temp stayed consistant at 210, Tranny temp varied from 115 to 124. Lots of toys in the cab to play with compared to the old truck. I'm anxious to get it hooked to my trailer and see how it does. It's got 68,000 on the clock and 1400 hrs on the motor.

Good lookin' truck!

I have those same step boards on my Summit White 3500, but I had mine painted black. I love'em and I have had'em for about 5 1/2, 6 years.

Get some fresh synthetic juice in the rear diff, unless you have documentation to show its been done in the last 50K.

I like Mobil Delvac synthetic in the engine, and drain/fill the Allison every other oil change interval - around 10K with the miles we put on.

You'll love how it tows - don't forget to engage the tow/haul at all times with the trailer on, it keeps the tranny noticeably cooler.
