Man that is just a sad sight. I just open the page and seen the pics. And then went and put a fire extinguisher in the truck. Sure wish you were still able to go.

 

Thanks everybody again! I'm going to try to sleep, my mine is going 100mph. What to do, what to do? Go 1000 miles and get the Mule and have the John Woods trans put in it or buy another truck? It makes me sick thinking about it, I don't want another truck. I'm burnt out (bad choice of words), I put my heart and soul into the Mare! Maybe I'll just buy a motor home and be done with it.

 

Wow Glenn, that is just horrible. I'm really at a loss for words. I'm not that far from the Mule's home. You need anything, let me know.

 

This is just terrible, Glenn. I really dont know what else to say. There are no words..........

 

those pictures are heartbreaking to see, but the important thing is everyone got out safe.
i hope the insurance company takes care of you Glenn.
i have 3 fire extinguishers in everything i own. a one lb argon, a 7 lb dry powder, and a 10 lb CO2

 

I know I'll be putting extinguishers in my trucks now....

 

Glenn, those pictures make my stomach churn. Bill told me last night about this and I've been thinking about it ever since. Man, I'm sorry for you, but I sure am glad you, the wife and (presumably) the dog are okay. As heart wrenching as it is, it sure could have been a lot, lot worse. I'll call you later this morning. I'm not that far from where you are now.

Hang in there, buddy.

 

That is a terrible sight. Not much to be said other than that sucks and I am glad you are all safe!

 

Please Glenn, no motorhomes But seriously, I am voting either move parts over to the mule or......get ready for it....6.7!! My boss has one and I can't deny that, every time I haul horses in it, that I smile a little bit. Man it's a nice truck. Keep us posted and please call if ya need something. I am not close to you, but will help however I can. I second Bill in that I am buying two extinguishers today. It's on the shopping list for this afternoon. I used the one in the RV for a water heater fire....no bueno.

 

OH NO, GLENN! I can't believe this. I'm glad everyone is ok. That is just crazy.


You and me both.

 

You better be coming. We can't afford to loose anymore.

 

Oh No! That sucks Glenn. Glad everyone is ok. The truck can be replaced, you can't.
Everything I'v read about the 6.7 is very good, but the 55-65K rule that out for me.

 

Same here.

 

Glenn, this is heartbreaking . Not much to say but keep your head up, there is another machine out there with a seat built for your butt!!!

 

This is a unbelievable outpouring of kind words and offers of help! All you guys are the best! I still can't bring myself to search for another PSD but my wife is! She came up with some no rust low mile OBS's that I'm impressed by the pictures. I didn't think that was possible being in the rust belt. I have to admit looking at a few of them my heart starts beating faster. But, I just don't know if I have any more builds left in me. Its not body wise, I'm still in pretty good shape, its mental. Can I do this all over again, I don't know. When at home and I'm having a bad day I look across the street and down the street and my neighbors new nice trucks and I ask myself, what is the hell am I doing this for. I know its the love of it but I thought that I was almost there with the almost perfect trunk to battle a blaze with no regards for my own personal safety just to try and save it. My wife was telling a fireman that I was trying to save my 'baby' and he said he understood, he has one too!


I haven't heard from the insurance guys yet but I can tell you this, they are not taking my truck. On the first call reporting it the lady said something about moving the truck to a place of State Farm to be inspected. I liked the guys who towed it and the shop they had so I told her to leave it where it was at. The adjuster can call me and we will meet there.


What year 6.7's are good? I'm just curious right now, I haven't made up my mind what to do yet.
