No Bites on the current truck.
Lynn and I re-talked about this........If no one hands me money by Monday......Tuesday we are going to sell it to the dealer for $38K.
I'll save $407 plate renewal due NLT Wednesday. $660 bank payment for October and November (maybe December).....and Insurance for 2-3 months....plus $500 trade in rebate from Ford........
Makes sense to me Roy, not going to get much more at that point, more money for accessories.

Well, it looks like you guys have been busy today.
Matt, thanks for the follow-up pics of the lights. I emailed the link to my parents so they can look into getting some for their wheelers and maybe even the tractors.
I prefer my ***** dry, but find that the shaft should be greased at least a little to keep it from binding. Wet ***** get too messy.
Shortly after I bought my truck, I removed my factory carpeted mats and installed the Husky liners and like them front and rear. I would snap a couple of pics, for you to see the fit, but my truck decided to act up on me again today and this time it is still at the dealer.
I was also not able to test out my front shocks today. They got about 20 miles (only the front wheels were on the ground and nobody was actually in the truck to check the ride.) When I actually get to drive it forward while inside the truck, I'll post opinion.
I'm bummed out, but at the same time blessed. My truck did the exact same thing today as I reported Monday, but this time it was in my driveway rather than in the bay at the inspection place, and since I'm on vacation rather than at work, I have time to deal with these hassles. I rode with the tow truck again today to the dealer and spoke directly to the tech as I wanted to tell him exactly what it did, as well as to tell him that the tune is on the ECM and the tuner is in it so he can back out the tune if needed. He never batted an eyelash and seemed to know exactly what I was requesting and even asked what tuner I had. I know that at least two of the Diesel techs there are tuner friendly and hope that he is as well. For now, I'm cruising in a rental.
What's with "Club FTE" I now see under a few avatars?

The people that have a 3 yr subscription to FTE get the Gold Badge. There will be a forum for the Gold Club FTE folks only. That is all I know so far.

Good morning fellow one pagers!

Sorry you got called back out to the rig, Mitch. Fun coupons are printing

So I talked to 2 people that I know that have the iP6+ so far and neither has expressed concerns about their phone bending. I have yet to here of an iP6 bending so that makes my daughter feel better.

So my buddy that picked up the 6.4L has decided against deleting it for now. He said funds are low for a bit. I told him I was ready when he was. That 6.4L has 285K miles on it and is pretty darn clean. It's actually amazingly clean for as many miles as it has on it. Runs great too.

I was disappointed for sure, but I can understand lack of funds. That happens to most of us and we just have to find a way to deal with it. However, he is having a constant regen issue so I'm wondering if he will change his mind. We cleared the code last night and he said it drove to work this morning and didn't go into a regen. I told him his best bet would be to go for a nice long drive on the highway and clear it out good. He was going to do that this weekend. He is taking up North about 250 miles one way and back. That should tell him a lot.

Hitch him up to your 5er and let him haul that 250 miles! No active regen cycle will ever clean the DPF as well as that will.
