Finally got around to taking a pic of my whip Nice!! Man it looks warm and green there - i am leaving on an ice fishing trip with mine Sunday morning. Different world my friend but at the end of the day i chose to be on this forum because on a per capita basis i am pretty sure Texas has more people like me then anywhere else on this planet except maybe Alaska.

Different world my friend but at the end of the day i chose to be on this forum because on a per capita basis i am pretty sure Texas has more people like me then anywhere else on this planet except maybe Alaska. Glad to see the public perception of Texas is still the same....sadly, that's probably not the case though. Texas has changed quite a bit in the last 20 years and not really for the better. The rougher stock has largely died off and Texas has become increasingly Urban and Suburban. It's a big state and there is still some "no man's land" to be had, but between the increasingly sprawling cities and suburbs, the large population escaping those areas and settling into formerly isolated rural areas, its become crowded. Lots of expats live here from other areas and they have brought their civility and progressive values with them. Even isolated areas by and large are rich with natural resources (Oil) and even these areas are heavily populated with workers in these fields. I used to be able to hit an isolated highway and drive for 30 mins or an hour and never see another car, that is rarely the case now. The hills around where I live are now dotted with Custom Homes and its hard to find a place to pee on a backroad that you won't get run up on. Texas is a great place to live and has a robust economy but its lacking in truly wild places and capable people are the exception, not the rule.

The “rougher stock” that I became acquainted with when I moved to the Hill Country in ‘83 have all truly died off. They were real men, and spoke their mind.

So 2200 miles on the truck already. So far very happy. Included in that was a 1200 mile off-grid trip that included 50 miles of this: To get to the trailhead here to snowmobile another 6 miles through the bush to access 225,000 acres of crazy good back lake ice-fishing:

One thing I’ve noticed is that the truck will idle around 1000 rpm if left sitting for a minute or two

One thing I’ve noticed is that the truck will idle around 1000 rpm if left sitting for a minute or two Can't believe it took so long for this to be added to the programming to help us out with customers sooting up their DPFs from excessive idle time. I think what you describe is an attempt to quell such as the L5P engine doesn't have near the issues as the 2016 and previous.
Pass the gravy.

None of my Fords did it unless it was real cold outside. This one idles for 30-45 seconds then goes into high idle at just under 1000 rpm no matter the temp

Gonna make run to north panhandle tomorrow. Dumped a bunch of Archoil fuel additives in the tank yesterday. Hoping it helps with some more DPF cleaning.

For what it's worth, on the GM trucks when it needs to regen (which you can't see unless it's been idled too long) the best speed is about 60-65 MPH. Faster than that and the exhaust velocity is higher so it doesn't get as hot.
Pass the gravy.

8700 miles on the odo now. Liking the truck, my body does not get fatigued after an all day drive like it did in the ford. Mileage isn’t great but unloaded on the highway I’ll see some 17 mpgs if hills and headwind are not terrible.
Low end power is fine, but mid range, the 40-60 mph range, when you get on it, it does not get up and go like the Ford did. The Ford took off like a rocket. This one goes but won’t put you back in your seat. Drove my buddies 2024 F-350 yesterday to make sure I wasn’t imagining it and it’s an extremely noticeable difference. Don’t know if it’s a detune computer setting because the power between it and my previous fords were about the same. That said, heaviest load I have pulled behind it is 4600 lbs and it pulls it at highway speeds no issues.
