I had a chance to take an 05 out for a long test drive, I did notice that they had made some changes from the 04's.

1. The new RF FM radio sounded great! It was very clear and loud with good warm sound. It was locked into the stations and it never faded out! It is what they should have given us from the start in the 04's.

2. The dash is very tight, I tapped all over the dash and not one sound! It is a big change from my truck even with all the sound deadening material that the dealer installed, I could not get one part to sound loose. On the long test drive the truck had not one rattle or noise any place. Big change for me.

3. The windows worked great every time I used them, no locking up and going back down. They must have fixed the software program in the BCM.

4. I did not hear any HISSING at all coming from the AC prug valve. It was very quiet inside of the cab. I was glade that they change that on the 05's.

5. The new tailgate is nice, It uses springs to make the tailgate open slowly.

6.The motor seemed quieter, I did not hear the EGR prug valve rattle at all. Also the engine seemed to have a smoother throttle responce, not as jerky or snappy as before. very smooth.

7. The new back window works nice, it gose up and down fast and smooth.

8. I can not tell you if the brakes are any better on this truck, I would have to drive it alot more to have an opinion on this.

I thought that I would share a few of my observations with the new 05 LE
