I think what has come out of this topic has proved is that our trucks cost so much to buy that we can't afford to buy fuel to keep the things running.

Hi Greg ... I think that most of us can buy the fuel (so far OPEC hasn't raised fuel prices resulting in $4/Gal). However, most of us can't afford that new secret option Ford has. You know the the one I'm talking about don't you? The sexy female voice that says, "hey handsome, you better pull over and fill me up before I run out on you."

 

I was looking at a used 2001 F250 PSD. It was at the dealer's lot with the key in it. I started it and it ran fine, but it was very low on diesel (low fuel light on) ,so I shut it down. The salesman came by and I asked if I could take it for a test drive, and that it would need some fuel. The salesman said ok, so we took off for the station about 1/4 mile down the road. It died about a block from the station and we coasted most of the way. We had to push it about the last 30 feet to the pump. We put fuel in it and it started fine after a couple of tries. The truck ran fine and I ended up buying it.

 

John, that story just proves the story, "Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you".
Husker, If you read John's post, you better tell your brother to stay out of poker games for a while.
As for me with two tanks, I head for the truck stop when the needle goes below 1/2 on the second tank. Starters cost to much to take a chance on.
