nice greg, i like your truck but i cant say you would be downgrading with one of the new models. sync system is really nice too. if i was in the market, i would jump on your 7.3!

i have to go figure out how many bags of concrete i need for my walkway. i wanted to get a short-load truck but the only companies that service my area are priced ridiculously high ($220 per yard). so ill be using bags to make up the 3 yards i need. i rented a bigger mixer that can handle a few bags at a clip, so at least i dont have to hand mix it all.

Good luck with that. I absolutely hate mixing concrete.

Good evening everyone.

Ran around this afternoon to get the stuff to replace the transmission harness. Ended up having to buy a 4-pack of valve body gaskets. Not sure why you'd need more than one, but that's apparently how they sell 'em. Probably gonna tackle that tomorrow morning.
