I know, right? I’m going to go to the dealer and see if they can obtain a build sheet for me, as I just bought the truck at the beginning of this thread. I wanted, but was unable to confirm the Factory options/spec. However, the mileage was relatively low, and the carfax and autocheck confirmed one owner, so I bought it. Would be nice to confirm the build though.

Make sure you do the timing chain guides asap. even with the lower mileage the age still can get them.

Byzine decoder is still working. I just decoded mine again to check it. I tried the last 7 of this vin and there seems to be a problem. I'm guessing there is a typo.
