Good morning everyone.

Hope everyone has a great day. Hoping to get the boat out for a bit this afternoon.

And this last shot is of a mouse-eaten heat duct under the shower enclosure.... Little buggers... I will probably just patch it. I just hope the little SOB's body isn't still in there...
Aw crap, I might as well just remove it now that I said that... Grrrrrr....
Looks nice Randy! Well other then were the mouse was chewing. haha

It IS pretty nice Troy! Gotta enjoy it while I can. I took a month off for the move, and I start at the new office on Monday. I'll probably not be taking a lot of time off between next week and the end of the year.

That's a fact Randy, I haven't seen waves like that in over ten years. We had one that came over the bow, so it was a bit of a ride. Today should be calmer, and I'll be in much smaller water if it's not.

Well here it is. Like I said needs some TLC but for 5200 bucks I can't complain. First problem was on hard acceleration it would fall on its face. Turns out it just needed some more air. Haha. The air filter was completely plugged. Put a new one in and it has power like it should. I have to get a couple front tires for it, fix the a/c and power steering isn't real good. Other then then that just minor other things. Here is a pic of the old air filter and the truck. It even has the EGR delete done and has head studs already so that is nice!

Yes it was. Jim said there was hardly a scratch to bargain. Going to pick it up after work today and hopefully put it to use soon. Weeds are annoying buggers!

That's quite a find Troy!

I've been looking at trucks online quite a bit lately. Not ready to do anything for the next month or so at the earliest, but there are some great deals to be had on 6.0L trucks. I'm a bit nervous owning one after some of the things I've read though.

Wow! You would think a dealership would at least run the truck through the service dept. before selling! Guess I know NOT to buy a used vehicle from a dealer unless it is a couple years old and low miles.

Glad it was a simple fix so far. Good luck!

Yeah I think I should be able to fix it up and sell it and make some money off of it.

Thanks Randy! Not sure how it couldn't be a bargain at that price.

Not sure what I will find for the rest but not too worried. It was smoked in so I have to get that smell out of it. That will probably be the hardest part! Lol

Sounds like they just took it in and put it up for sale. Might just be a bunch of little things that the dealer wasn't willing to fix for the money. Always fun to find and fix the easy stuff!
