Was really nice yesterday, so I washed and waxed both of mine. I'm always surprised how much stuff accumulates in the cab when I clean 'em out.

Hopefully this week, I'm gonna get to play a little with the 250 when I pick up some new gooseneck trailers for work.

I owned a Dodge once. It was only because it had a Cummins. Great engine but the rest of the truck was a total POS.
Too bad Ford pick ups didn't come with it like some of the commercial heavy duty trucks did.

Hahaha ya that definitly caught me by surprise, wasnt exactly planning on having my brand new tire fall off while doing 50 mph and go flying off the offramp. I actually wasnt the one who put my front tires on, I had a buddy do the front two while I swapped out the back two and put my new exhaust on. We did all the work yesterday and i didnt drive the truck around at all because I needed the gas to get back to school. To be honest the truck was driving perfectly smooth up untill i had only 3 wheels left. I had the truck towed back home today and hopefully by tonight i'l know just what exactly I did to my truck.

Rule #1: Always double check the work of anyone who isn't you that does work on your vehicle.

Haha yup, unless its the garage I usually go to, absolutely no one is touching my truck. But good news though, my truck got towed back this morning and i need minimal repairs. Some tierods, wheelbearing/hub, rotor, and i need to replace my brakelines again because i slammed the brakes so hard. Compared to what couldve happened this isnt so bad. There was absolutely no body damage at all either.

Hey now! I love my Jeep and it's technically Chrysler Corp. In my defense, I really wanted an Escape but they are too much like a car for what I needed.

That's odd.........Schwab is usually pretty honest in my experience, and do good work.

So looks like we'll be seeing a write up here about the upcoming repairs.
Is your "buddy" going to help?
