I actually just found a take out set, the turn over underbed side complete and the sliding companion. So far about $500 below retail for all of that, see if I can make a deal now

That's a great idea Mike.

HA! I got a deal on the B&W turnover AND the sliding companion fifthwheel hitch for the truck. $1100 Thinking that is a deal considering those parts are roughly $2100 new. Now I just need to get down to Indiana to get em......

Shipping confirmation, tonneau cover should be here tomorrow. I guess it'll just stay in the barn until I can get it installed now.

I'll just be excited for spring when I can clean the dang barn back up and purge crap that doesn't need to be there anymore. It's so cluttered in there......

I'll just be glad to get the truck clean. It won't stop snowing down here. And the truck is covered in salt. I wash it, it stays clean for about 8 minutes. I'm over this winter crap!

Went to the boat show, Wife almost bought a pontoon, had to watch her. Tons of boats, no people, just the way i like it LOL.

Changed the oil in the truck and picked up 2.5mpg on the highway... has happened the last few times too. Confirms my bad VCT actuators theory, once the oil breaks down a bit they must be leaking and not holding the cams where they should be, but no enough to throw a code. Got my blackstone report, high iron but they think it's still break in wear at 15k. First one i have done so no trends, i'll probably do the next one too. Fuel was only 1.5% which was lower than i was anticipating.

Rich stop posting pictures of your lift, makes me jealous lol.
