New to the forum and this group. Just purchased a 2018 Silverado 3500 HD (Isn't HD redundant when listing a 3500?) to replace my 2002 Dodge 3500 DRW. Lots of new tech gizmos in this vehicle I've never had in a truck. Don't like the requirement to use a touchscreen to operate the radio. Too much time looking at the screen instead of keeping your eyes on the road where they should be. I am enjoying the Allison trans instead of shifting the NV5600. Been in and out of Texas for decades. My dad was also military, so we moved around a lot. First arrived in Texas in 1953. Attended NTSU in the 60's, and graduated with an invitation to join in the Southeast Asia war games. Stayed in the military for a full career, retiring in 1991 after the first Southwest asia war game. I live N of Ft. Worth in cow country, so duallys are a very common sight. Mike
