It's here...almost 3 weeks after I bought her. A mix up with the shipping company cost me two weeks...but she's home.
Steel Blue with all options except RES...I've already installed the Ipod interface (i did it myself this morning in about 45 minutes.), bought the rear spoiler, the rear tray, rear light guards, and wheel locks. My tint guy is coming on Saturday and my detail guy on Monday.
It's in really good shape for having 2500 miles...just some minor scratches that nobody but me would notice.
Already working on suede for the doors and humps - then i'm done for a while mod wise.
The power and sound is amazing. I think i have the brake squeel as i hear it faintly when ever i brake lightly. Is this what the TSB covers?
Anything else I should be aware of or look for?
Pics to follow after the tint and detail.

Congrats Stephen--And wouldn't you know it, I got mine yesterday too--:D Same as yours, only new but discounted like yours. Delaer had it for several months; meanwhile he sold a lot of black ones. I guess we are two of the few who like the blue. It is slower than black after all, according to everyone here :rolleyes:
Mine is stock for now and will remain so for a while, as I am a bit in the doghouse for doing the deal without complete consultation with the wife. I sure hope I can keep the truck and my wife. I would sure hate to see her go...:eek: --Bob

Ok...here are some crappy pics of my SBM SRT8, and my Volvo S60R that is going away tomorrow.
So far I've done a detail, taillight guards, Rear Spoiler, Mopar Ipod integration, rear rubber mat, tint, halogen bulbs for the headlights (fogs tomorrow), and oil change to 15/50 full synthetic, and wheel locks.
To go is charcoal suede on the doors, dash humps and parking brake.
I love it...but as you said the gas mileage sucks. Oh well...
Oh yeah..i have the brake squeel and a slight hesitation on the shifts occasionally. TSB's for that?
Thanks!

Halogens are not the same as HID's...they are really just whiter replacement bulbs. Not bad for 40.00.
The rear spoiler was 302.00 from the stealership. But i had to have it.
Dynamat and Charcoal suede door panels and dash humps are going in tomorrow. Might do a suede headliner at some point.
Then i'm gonna take a breather and figure out what's next.

Congrats on your purchase! These trucks rock! The good news is you can still do mods to make your blue as fast as the black! :D

Yep...i forgot on the list that i added the wheel locks from Mopar.
I'm not a fan of trying to run my best times with cinder blocks as tread. :eek:
I'll post better pics when the interior is done.
Mod money and gas money...what a way to burn some cash!

Here you guys go...the flash actually makes it look lighter than it really is.
Funny thing tho..i picked a charcoal that was a 95% match to the inserts. But the guy ordered the wrong color and installed it. When I first saw it I was hella angry.
But then he offered me a 50% discount. I thought...what the hell.
I figure if I grow to hate it...i'll replace it then. At least I know what it looks like in person now...and all for 300.
Be nice on the comments.
