Talking Hi guys! Stoked new LMM owner here...

Hello guys, just picked up my new truck on July 21st...

Had 13 miles on it when I test drove it, and I woludn't give them the keys back until we struck a deal...

Just turned the 1000 mile mark this past weekend and I must say that I really love this truck!

Just joined this forum and am really digging all the info I am finding.

Thanks to all of you who post your knowledge and help us noobs out.

Glad to meet you all!

SOme people had luck with reflash but i like mike said would recomend not having it done, especially if wanting to add a tuner or chip in the future.
