Exactly what I order back in December and I'm told I have another 8 weeks to wait for shipment.

For some odd reason there was a delay on the build, but had nothing to do with electronics, but had to do with the spray in bed liner and 5th wheel/gooseneck prep package I order with it. I removed those parts of the order and it's now in the que to build.

This.

Buying a diesel these days is a horribly expensive decision. Gas engine 3/4 ton trucks are the way to go. Doesn't make any sense at all for most people to buy a diesel 3/4 ton, unless you've got ample money to blow.

Diesel Costs way more initially, costs way more to maintain, lower payload capacity, lower reliability, marginally better fuel economy, much higher fuel costs,

You're paying over $10k extra for something that will cost you more to use. Unless you're pulling heavy enough often enough to need a dually, you almost certainly are better off with a gas engine.
