Sad Day

Well guys, I put my truck up for sale today. My family has expanded again and we just don't all fit in the ol truck any more. Going to try and sell it and replace it with a crew cab, hopefully another diesel but it may end up being a puke stroke. All you guys have been extremely helpful, I want another IDI just so I have an excuse to come back to this forum. If anyone is interested in my ride send me a PM.

We have a Mazda5 minivan but it can't tow the camper. Hoping to replace the truck with a crew cab. I really want another diesel, the fuel economy is much better then an equivalent gasser. Plus I buy B100 at about $.50 a gal. less then whatever the price is at the pump.
