That's pretty typical holiday behavior from most customers. "You don't understand, I am going out of town and NEED this done right now" "I leave in 30 minutes"

That's a big drop in mileage. Must be pretty stuck.

Doesn't take much on a 6.4. These things drink like no other, you add even a little resistance and it shows. It isn't grinding yet but I figure by mid next week its going to be toast.

Good morning fellas!

Time to get the kids off to school and enjoy the day. Des wants to test drive some vehicles to see what she really likes before we start getting serious about one. Probably get something in the spring. No you can't spend our money yet!! We are just looking right now.
