Hi hogtrader here- the newbie

Hi all,

Just became a MCS parent last week. Let's see if I can get the abbreviations correct. 2004 MCS, JB/B with #1 & #2 options. Bought it "preowned" with only 7800 miles. It was manufactured in June 2004. I'm real happy to be rid of my gas-hog Dodge 5.2L V8 truck (12 mpg in a good week). The truck would automatically slow down and steer towards a gas pump every time I passed a filling station.

I'm glad to be here and really enjoy all I have learned so far. I will start tricking it out in a few weeks as soon as I learn more about good CAI and exhaust systems (suggestions anyone? Anyone?).

Welcome aboard. Let's see some pictures! Read lots about the mods, they can be as expensive as you want . . .
