Rough day and open thank you to all here

Well, today was a rough day but it was time. 5.5 years and 126,000 miles I had to trade my beast in at just shy of 293000 miles. I couldn't keep up with everything it needed and it started showing the white smoke syndrome in the last two weeks.




It pulled the camper out of storage and then drove its last 600 miles with me like it was still a young pup.




If someone is looking for a beast with new shocks, brakes, tires, all fluids, and hellwig sway bars all done in last 9 months call Fulton ford in Fulton MO.




Unless I win the powerball tonight then I'm getting it shipped back for a frame off resto! A guys gotta dream.




I'm driving the red beast next to it now.

I too reluctantly joined the truck club on Friday, although the excursion did nothing to deserve it. The wife wants a 5th wheel. I didn't trade mine in though. I'll be throwing it on the market in a couple of days.

He had the 6.uh-oh....hence the "white smoke" problem he mentioned. That also explains why he only got $4000 for it.
