Nobody was injured, but he did end up in an adjacent campsite that we occupied. Luckily the rain made us chicken out.
Damn lucky no one got hurt. Must have been a scary ride.

If anyone with a stock height 99-04 SuperDuty wants a 6" lift I know where you can trade for one. He just wants stock parts in exchange for lift parts.

Morning all! Off to the dealership to drop the truck off for a fifth time... you should hear the ticking noise it makes when the Airaid is removed from about 1000-3000 RPM. Sounds like hell... hope they actually fix it this time.

While I'm there I'm going to talk to the lady who called me originally, and if possible the owner of the dealership. I'll note about how I'm really not too pleased about having to return it a fourth time, and try to at least get something out of it. Same issue or not, 5 visits in 6 months isn't right when none of them are routine.
