Question taking the chance
Hi everyone after reading the forum for a long time i finally felt i can order a new 08 250 sc 6.4 lariat .I have a 04 6.bloo that had alot of problems and really did not want to go thru that again . I ordered it 10/01/ job 2 type truck so it should be after all the problems. I'm looking for input if this was a good move or bad and can this vehicle be traced thru the system I'm a z plan.

I was just re-reading your post and I still think you will love your truck, BUT I am not sure what "all of the problems" were on the Job 1. IMHO this has been a pretty darn good roll out for the 08 from the start. 18k+ and loving it.

Owned over 20 vehicles including 8 trucks. This is the best truck and vehicle I have ever owned. It has been flawless since April and can it tow!
