This is more along the lines of what i was thinking

Cars for Sale: 2012 Ford F250 Lariat in Webster, MA 01570: Truck Details - 364489110 - AutoTrader.com

But i cant do a new truck anyways...insurance would at least double im sure. Friend of mine who is 20 was just trying to sell his 09 6.4 (ended up rolling it...) because insurance was killing him

If you have full coverage on your '03 the insurance wouldn't change a whole lot. Sure the truck is worth more, but it also has lots of safety features that can really reduce a payout in the event of an accident.

ON edit: Of course your property tax would change a bit. But you'd get to drive it!

Good morning all.

Miles that's a real bummer about the truck. It does sound like a glitch with the computer because of the restart and back to normal. Has anyone looked at the positive cable to see if there is a loose connection? Only reason I say that is vibration, vibration, vibration.

Well that didn't work. Apparently the air springs from the parts car weren't in good shape at all. They lasted less than five miles before having to limp back at 15 MPH.

Guess Miles and I have something in common now.

Uuuh huh. "Lucy" the Town Car is 18 years old.

Although I'm beginning to think you've inflicted your luck on me. Lucy went down this morning, and my truck did about an hour ago.




Was a real blast changing that thing in 2° weather in the middle of freaking NOWHERE.

Morning guys.

Tom I had some bad luck yesterday also.
I came out of the Depot and some a** must have had something sticking out of there car/truck and left a crease in my front compartment door on the body.
Now I will have to have that fixed in the spring when I get a few rust spots touched up.

Good morning all. I guess we are in for a Thursday storm. Snow!!!

Shirley Temple died at 85. She had a full life. Used to watch her movies as a child.

Bad luck comes in 3's. I guess the rest of us can breath a sigh of relief. lol
