Unhappy Emtabmm need help asap!

Ok here is the situation. interest rates in my area are great right now 3.9% 60 mo. I was waiting for the new production trucks in april to come out BUT I found the truck I am looking for it is a 2004 sd 6.0. Now would I be stupid to get this truck now OR should I wait for april. There is only 1 truck around my area that has everything I am looking for ( I am very picky). I just dont want to jump the gun unless the latese 2004's are ok in your opinion? thaks for all your help bro!

Does the truck have the new door side "key fob"? I am dieing to see what one looks like. I just received mine but it had the old style. It doesn't matter to much since it does the job

Seems to me like Emtabmm deserves a huge attaboy, or trophy, or a free lunch, or a bottle of his favorite wine for all the time he spends helping others here.

naw, just like helping you guys, gives me a huge kick to see other dealers squirm when a client comes in well informed. I do my job well, and it irritates the heck out of me to hear about all these dealers just flat not doing their job. It's like they forget who is paying their salary..... but thanks odds on 21!!

Well I could not agree more, I know for a fact he likes vacations, and has thought about one in a far away place. I know we could get an old jato-bottle from a salvage yard, strap it to his butt and send him into orbit. If we do the orbital calculation correct there is a chance he could reach the moon. That of course being if he managed to make escape velocity………..if he didn’t he’s going to be pissed…………….cause he will end up being another piece of space junk orbiting around in a low earth orbit……….pondering his time to re-entry. That itself will be a stressful situation.

Ok after thinking through this.... go with getting him lunch, he probably would be a lot happier and in one piece.

OK I can get two bottles; ya know that is just another incurred cost by your travel agent.
You will be limited to one carry on…………excuse me to one “hold on.”

I should mention at this point that these things usually have the flight trajectory
of a bottle rocket when you break the shaft off………………………….

Better be a big bottle rocket...exactly how much thrust do we need for about 285lbs to achieve orbit??? and how long a burn time?(so i know if i need to strap my eyelids in place or not...)

Start strapin.............the orbital dynamic/ascension characteristics of the human body have not been researched in detail, test subjects have been very difficult to find. We do know that at Max-Q there will be some big problems. That notwithstanding, you could be a pioneer, of sort.
You know I am probably about to get busted for hijacking this thread…………I’m out here
