thewellman, checking in........

Hello to all,
I'm a water well contractor with a 97 superduty ( F450), with a 9 ft service bed, and a slide in pump hoist / crane in the back. The total weight is about 14,000 lbs or so. Milage is 195,000, several problems lately. The rig was 55k back in 97, a replacement rig today runs about 80k, yep I'm in trouble, I cant afford to rebuy. My family cant eat without the rig,,,,,sheeeeez.
I found this site with all yalls good info, and now I'm thinking maybe I can get another 100k out of it ! Thanks for the site, and I'll study up.
