This is my company truck guys I wish it were mine. I just picked it up for another 3 years until they give me a new one. These things run about 115k +/- I'm not quite ready for that kind of move yet. I'm doing a lease purchase through my company. It's my truck (no else will drive it) and it goes home with me but I don't physically own it. I'll post some pics of it though Tuesday evening when I go back otr off of break. I park it at a buddies pad it won't fit and is not allowed in my subdivision.

Hey bud. The problem with turning these CATs up is that you have to purchase a 'license' from CAT. I know where I was working it was $750 to take a 6NZ to 500HP. Just FYI.

look for footprints of non authorized custom tunning.
total miles/ engine hours and average speed per hour for the total amount of hours.
if they dont like what they see, yes they will void your 400,000 mile warranty, etc.
