Anyone ever been looking for a new truck and find one that just "speaks" to them, even though they probably shouldn't get involved in it?

Well FedEx dropped my lawnmower blades off today.... I don't know where but they dropped them off at someone's house....

I was having an issue with my truck so I took it into Mike's diesel performance in Grass Lake yesterday at his "shop" pole barn and he had it figured out in no time. Whoever did the EGR delete didnt unplug one of the 3 sensors that needed to be unplugged. Quick fix truck is not missing anymore. I'm happy again. I think I figured out why the PO got rid of it now
I almost put my tow mirrors up half way home I was so happy lol

Zack.... See my signature.... Both trucks were that same exact situation. I will not buy something that doesn't "speak" to me.

John sometimes you have to look very carefully because they hide them so well.



One of the few trucks i'm looking at, 5 speed F350 dually, cent package. I really like the exterior looks and it speaks to me, but the interior is this real nice wood grain, and that part I don't like so I'm torn and it blows.

Mystery solved. My neighbor who's address is soooo similar to mine just dropped them off to me. I'm glad I wasn't planning on cutting the grass today! Thanks FedEx for getting it close.


If it speaks fluent english to you, get it. If it speaks Spanlish you may want to keep looking.

Well right now I'm at 5 so I have to try and narrow it down.. It's pretty much price vs mileage.

Well met up with Chad last night for the tool (Thank you again), so I should be able to get my ICP changed out as long as stupid Napa can get me the part Saturday morning.

cover it with vinyl. i've seen people cover wood grain with 3M carbon fiber-look vinyl and it looks sweet.

Well fellas I got some great news....

I just found out that the previous owner of my truck was the kind of guy that I thought he was, not one to cheap out.... I have a revmax 850 transmission sitting behind my 6.7 cummins!! That's good for 850 HP and an $7,999 transmission. They literally sign the bellhousing and label what # transmission it is... I found it!
