 1. Years of diesel experience-1
2. How you use your vehicle- towing, daily driving in summer
3. Your favorite modification-Air suspension
4. Your favorite diesel story- We took the truck on our honeymoon and had a great time with people honking and waving as we drove down the highway- may have been the truck or the just married sign on the back window!
