Welcome! Nice rig. Only problems i know with your truck is the possibility of cracking a piston when/if you decide to tune it. Lots of good and knowledgable members on this forum.

WELCOME!!!!
Nice truck, you practically stole that thing!

The EDGE sticker, that whats wrong with it, you will like a stock trans efi live tune much better, seriously. As for the truck itself, the 06's are damn near bullet proof mechanically, with that mileage i would look real hard at the ifs components, bushings, pitman and idler arms, wheel bearings tie rods and upper and lower ball joints, maintenance maintenance maintenance.

Enjoy your new ride!

An 06 LLY i believe is a slightly detuned lbz and you can crank it up to 650ish h.p. for the motorwith a built trans.Get efi live and if you have an edge chip sell it to pay for efi live, well worth it.Fill out your signature so we can see what you have done to your truck to help giude you and inform you.

Welcome to DD :hello:

Good looking pickup. :thumb:

It's not a bad idea to find someone with EFI live or tech 2 to check the balance rates on the injectors and CP3. Not necessary but I feel it's a good idea.

Start saving for a built transmission, you're going to want one before you know it.:happy2: A lift pump is a good investment even on a stock vehicle. Fuel additive's are also a must in my option.
I'll second looking into the front end to see the condition of the steering components.

There's alot of good knowledgeable people on this site so don't be afraid to ask.
