Been lurking around here and reading for a while, trying to talk myself into doing it...

They'll be delivering it to me at work tomorrow


06 2500 QC 4x4 Thunderroad Edition!!!!!!!!!!


Oh man I'll bet I dont sleep a wink tonight!!
(either from the excitement of my new truck, or the worry over my LARGE new payment)


Can't wait to get it...It will be a while before I start to trick it out, but it wont be long...

Now that I'm in the club, what advice do you guys have for me??

 

Post pictures of your NEW TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!

Mike

 

well she wont be here till tomorrow, but this one is close

ebay item # 4577436891

Mine is black....I bought it sight unseen from a local dealer...He's gotta have it delivered from St louis, then will bring it to me tomorrow at work

This guy bent over backwards to make this deal...He's doin everything but making my payments....


I think I'll camoclad around the bottom...Prolly help with rock chips on black paint....Whos got the best prices on camoclad?

 

I agree. First fill out your Sig so everyone knows what you drive. Takes pictures. GET Gauges. Fun watching what the truck actually does (Pyro, Boost are mostly needed).

Congrads on the truck and welcome.

 

Welcome to the club, go to your doctor and get your script filled, once the bombing bug hits there is no known cure!!

 

K guys...Here's the skinny on my new '06

Of course the front end has changed...

The interior has a new dash, stereo design, and slight changes to the door panels...

The radio has an aux plug to attach ipod or something similar..

The fold flat floor under the back seat is now made of plastic, with a cloth top...I think I would have liked metal better, but the plastic I am sure will be less noisy...

The exhaust is 4 inch turbo-back straight from the factory...At work we have an '05 dually, and it has 3 inch...From the brochures, 4 inch is now standard on '06...It sounds great even with factory muffler...Has a deep bass tone and a good rumble...

The new keyless entry is pretty cool..Its built on the key...Makes the keys kinda bulky...but now there's no fob...



It's black with alot of chrome....I definitely need some steps and mudflaps....Thinking I'll use treadplate for the bedrails and mudflaps....



Thats the biggest changes I have seen so far...I've only had it now for a couple of hours....If you guys have questions feel free to ask...I'll check mine out and see

 

What is the Thunderroad Edition!!!!!!!!!! ???

Any pictures.

 

Thunder Road, Big Horn and Lonestar are a package that includes added options .....Its above SLT (slt package with added features) but not as fancy as the Laramie....no leather, etc....

The three packages are the same, they are just named differently for different regions...

Thunder Road for the East coast, Lonestar is sold in TX, and Big Horn is sold everywhere else


No pics yet...Had a storm blow in earlier, and now it's dark out....

 

I have a 2004.5 which has a full 4" exhaust from the Turbo back to the rear bumper. The early 2004 had 3 1/2 Down pipe then 4" back if I remember correctly. Every 04.5 had full 4" .

Correct me if I am wrong please.

Don

 

I'm not sure..I know our dually isnt 4 inch all the way

 

....still no pics, I'm bummed....

Sounds most awesome - I'm jealous AND happy for you -

 

PICS-PICS-PICS...lol, sounds like a great truck.
