$40k is a good laugh. That blower must be worth $39,950, because the truck doesn't look to be worth more than $50.

It's actually a sweet set up. Guy lost his legs, so now needs to sell.

blowers on the truck go for 12000. this one has a 60 horse gas motor on it. (integrated into the trucks fuel tank)

the rear blade unfolds to 16'

truck has been beefed up a ton. (supposedly upgraded the frame to carry all the weight.

He did driveways. unfolded the blade, backed in, and pulled it out to the street. backed up, and blew the snow. slick.

He can put enough pressure on the rear blade to pick the rear wheels off the ground.

also, can blow snow at 30mph...

not saying it's worth it, just that it's a slick set up.

These are the humble words of MisterCMK sent on the go...

Since the ban has been lifted for December to talk about VW

Dustin how do your TDI start when low teens and colder? Our 04 sucks. Like the glow plugs aren't working. I have to keep cranking it until it starts to run on its own. Any way to check the glow plugs to see if they are working. Even cycling the plugs multiple times doesn't work

Sounds like it is junk. Trade it off on a decent car!
