    Hello everyone, first post here from WV. Active duty Army. Lifetime GM man, just traded in my 09 2500hd Sierra for a beautiful 16 SR5 Tundra. Looking forward to joining this community and learning all the ims and outs of my new truck. Anything that you want to know, just ask.

    Welcome I’m from WV as well. I recently traded my Silverado in for a Tundra and I’m glad I did.

    That there is. Being that you are new to the Tundra, ask any questions that you have...except for "how do I improve gas mileade" lol. You will learn some pretty interesting things about these trucks.

    Thank you for your service and welcome to the forum.

    If you don't mind me asking.......why did you get rid of the 2500?

    I had a 1500 that I had planned on keeping past 100K and then deleting the stupid AFM and putting in new lifters, v8 cam etc......as part of a true AFM delete. But as others have already read on my intro post awhile back the truck started cutting out for no reason and the local dealer couldn't duplicate!

    Just curious if you had similar issues or were just downsizing etc....etc...

    Had a camper and sold her. Decided I didn't need the expense and ride of a HD anymore. Was dead set on a 1500 Z71 until I drove one back to back with my new Tundra. Dealer gave me 11k for my '09 gasser w/160k on the clock.
