That is great. More than double the length of time I've been alive. I hope that one day I can experience something as awesome as this.

Actually Erik, she just puts up with it. She wears ear plugs, LOL. I just tell her that the new ones are quite and she shuts up. Biggest reason I put in sound proofing when I got the mare (dually)!

Lol. That is too funny. I am really thinking hard about getting another pickup. I really like powerstrokes, and the superduties are nice. Working on them sucks, since the engine bay is crowded to heck. The newer 6.7 scorpion is really attractive, but realistically my paid off pickup is better than any payment for a pickup.

I guess it just sucks to not be making much money and not be able to do any mods. I did most of the cheap stuff and don't really have much left that I can do.

I'm done buying new trucks. The last new one I bought was a SD with 6.0 in 2004. When I got rid of it in 2007, I swore I'd never buy another new truck, don't want that payment. I'll just keep working on my junk! LOL!!
