Build to it. Everyone else does. I am at the point in life where I own my flaws and short comings.

I paid off my pickup yesterday. I'd check the bank accounts yesterday and saw the interest go up a few pennies. Might as well finish it off. So I did. Then I fired it up and drove it to work. 60 miles round trip.

Well, that's always a nice feeling. Been 6 years since I paid off mine. Going to trade her in here in the next year or so.

What is your next ride going to be? I like my diesel, but that 6.2 gas has a lot of appeal to me.

Probably a Ecoboost 150. Not sure about what engine yet, I need to drive both the -6 and -8. And do some research into the ecoboost.

I would love an eco-boost. My next door neighbor has one. I think he likes his pickup. If I didn't desire a 4 door I'd do an extended cab with 2.7. The 3.5 eco-boost would be running fool. I like the way an F-250 feels and rides. It can handle a load and I think they feel better when pulling a trailer.

If I still had the boat, I'd think about another -250. But, the only thing I pull around now is the car trailer, with the 68 Mustang on it. I think a -150 will pull that around just fine. I've heard good things about the Ecoboost, just need to go and drive one!

That is what my brother bought for his wife as her car. You can't go wrong with a Ford.

Yep, that's pretty much all I will buy, as far as trucks are concerned!

Now that my 06 is paid off, there is a puddle underneath it. Looks like oil. I am trying to figure out if it is a transmission cooler line or something more nefarious.

At the front or rear of the engine? I know the 6.0 tends to leak a bit at the main seals.

Not the steering pump, that's on the left. Climbed under it to take a look?

I've been under it. I've look from the top. It is intermittent. Last week I did an oil change and changed fuel filters. Diesel soaked into my good Carhartt Jack, hoodie and long sleeve tee shirt. I am still trying to wash the diesel out.

Yeah, I hate changing that filter on the fuel/water separator. Designed by some ******* engineer, who's never worked on anything in his life.
