I'm Back.........
Well, i really never left...not that i didn't try...
If everybody will remember back to May, 2010, i sold Bit Mo' so i could go be an overseas contractor...that never panned out, and i have been salivating over every dang PSD i see...
that said, i agreed to buy a 2002 F-350 quad cab fat azz XLT this afternoon to satisfy my PSD withdrawals...i will be picking the newer, bigger, Bit Mo' #2 up Monday afternoon...modding will be soon, such as the ZOODAD, it needs it bad...the CCV, the 50c mod, foil delete, red line delete, EBPV unplugged, and a muffler delete or 3" exhaust (haven't decided which), and the Max A/C mod. Pics will be upcoming, i took some with my phone but can't figure out how to load em on the comp...
I TOLD MY WIFE TO NEVER ASK ME TO SELL MY TRUCK AGAIN...she said OK...
All in all, i'm just glad to be back, i was getting sick of all the BLUE......remember the Aurora...yuck...
Anyway, as always...and i am looking forward to at least one great weekend of wrenching...

Pics will be up just as soon as possible...the miles are high, but they're all highway......308k...only place i could find on the whole truck is an elbow dimple on top of the wheel cover...looks like the PO leaned in to get something out of the bed and rested his elbow on the well...other than that, this truck is friggin' flawless...the only downside (besides being back in debt) is this one ain't like my old E99, there's a dang cat on it, and all the other stuff previously mentioned that need to be addressed...

yeah, it's high miles, but have you priced these trucks...i just did a quick reference search on Autotrader, ebay, and KBB...find one for less than $15k with those miles...they just are hard to find...and the 7.3 is a dissappearing relic amongst motors out there...the dealer was already on the phone trying to get some of the 50+ guys looking for one up to the dealership when i saw it...miles or not...i'm pretty sure that it will be going for a LONG effin time with the help of my FTE brothers...

CL can't finance me...
I wasn't saying there aren't better deals, but, there are not any 2002 quad dually's for sale within 200 miles of me...the draw for me was the 7.3, and this is a really nice truck, it has not been beat up...and what i was saying is that the dealer traded for the truck at 4 on Friday and had a list of guys who were looking for one, he had been calling them Saturday morning to come look at it...i just happened to meet my boss next door to get paid, saw the truck, and happened to be the first one on it...BTW, it was 9:15 am Saturday morning...the trucks similar to this one that i can find are all over 500 miles away, yeah, it might save me a few bucks on the price, but it'll cost me the same to get there...lol...i appreciate the input, but this is really what i want now, and also what i wanted when i settled for the first Bit Mo'...bottom line, i'm happy, be happy with me...thanks...

I dont think the price is that far off from they are going for down here. I just did a generic KBB (didn't know your options) on it and I came up with $15k.
when you have to finance your painted into a corner and yah you'll pay a bit more (pardon the pun), but we have all been there a time or two.
Heck, mine KBB'd at $12, I payed $8,000 cash and just sank (and I do mean sank) $2500 for a trans.
I found my truck on CL, it posted at 9pm, I called at 8am the next morning, and the owner said he was getting calls till 10:30 pm about it. I was the first of 7 or 8 guys coming to look at it that day, but I bought it first.
Was he BS'ing me...who knows. All I know is I got the truck I wanted for a fair price and I'm happy.
As long as your happy, it's your truck, and your money. Thats all that matters.
Im happy for ya....Your going to be up all night tossing and turning thinking about her.
