I think I would have to have at least 373 gears to haul well. I have read they really are great with 430 gears, however that is a huge jump in ratio. I am still not sure if I can go to a gas truck though.
as far as dealing best I could do is about 3200 off sticker. which was basically invoice. He says they cant keep a truck in stock this year.

Jeff,what dealer is this?
There is a Ford dealer in town,and their trucks just seem to sit.
As for the new trannys,the local diesel shop says the new 10 speed takes alot of getting used to.
