No I think that is ok I but from what I remember when it was installed is that it was real close to the tranny heat shield so I am now thinking that is the issue. I will have to get under there and take a look.

Gotcha. I might as well get that back from you next time we meet up as long as you end up with that '05 you were looking at. Decided on that one yet?

Yuck! Had to buy tabs for the truck this morning. Shouldn't they go down in price after all these years instead of up?

That's a good Idea Troy. I'll hold on to it. Dave and I are going to look at it, the 05, tomorrow.

Oh makes sense now.

What kind of mileage did you get from your previous excursion?

Yeah that figures Jay. They should go down as the vehicle gets older I thought. Mine are a little cheaper I thought but mine is a 250 which will make them cheaper I think. Have you got regular plates or Y plates?

Maybe that's why mine went up. I need to make up the difference for you F250 drivers that aren't paying enough.
