Sad day.

Since I am awaiting back surgery, that will put me out of commission for most of the summer, I have covered and stored our TT, and sadly our F250 as we have no plans to need it till I can get back on my feet.

Good luck with the surgery amigo. I had to go “under the knife” twice for back issues. You’ll be back on your feet in no time.

A truly sad day for a truck guy. Praying your surgery goes well and recovery is faster than expected.

Warm wishes to a highly successful surgery and recovery. That Super Duty and TT are good mental motivation.

Best wishes for your procedure. Take whatever your anesthesia providers offer for pain control and listen to your PT/OT during recovery and you should be kicking butt in no time.

Thanks for the wishes. I should be back on my feet about the time the wife goes back to school. So any camping this year is out of the question.

About 9 years ago I went through cancer treatment and my truck at that time sat for almost three months except for the time I got my mom (69 years old at the time) to drive it just to give it some exercise. About two weeks into treatment I felt the need to do something so I started to do a brake flush. I went inside to get something and decided a nap was in order. Four hours later I came back out to find my 32 oz brake fluid bottle empty, brake fluid all over the (formerly nicely painted) floor and brake fluid dripping from the engine compartment. The seal on the brake fluid reservoir for my bleeder tool didn't get on tight. After that, I pretty much stayed out of the garage for the next three months.

Good luck with your surgery! This too shall pass.

Best of luck with the surgery! Follow the doctor's orders and do your PT.

Might want to have a friend drive that truck now and then to keep everything loose and the brakes from rusting up to bad..
