Thanks

I just wanted to let everyone know that I no longer have my F250. After having some issues that the dealer could not figure out, I decided to trade my truck in for a 2008 F150. I have learned a lot from everyone on here and would like to thanks everyone. I will still be looking here to talk to friends I have met and to give any advice I can offer.

Thanks again!
Bryan

Bryan,

Just in case it might help others in the future can you give us some quick insight into "having some issues that the dealer could not figure out". ??

Thanks in advance and congrats on the new truck purchase.

Here's a link to a thread started by Bryan a few days ago:

I'm not sure if there are other issues involved. Congrats on the new truck Bryan. It's a shame poor dealer service drove you to the F150 but at least you stayed in the family. Hope you're happy with the new ride and you got a good deal. You're always welcome here.

I have a landscaping business on the side which is why I originally had the 250. I'm getting out of that business at the end of this season so I really didn't need to fork out the extra money on a Super Duty again. I got a 2008 F150 5.4l, Crew Cab, 4x4, tow mirrors. So far I really like it, even though I really do miss the 250. Plus, with the cost of diesel these days, I decided I would turn back to a 150 (this is the third one I've owned...... '96, '06, '08). The tech there said he didn't know what was wrong with the truck; which scared me because he has a very good rep in my area. Plus, I was at 70,000 miles and didn't really want to risk having future problems with only a small amount left on my warranty. The truck was soon needed brakes, clutch, and tires. I also had a crack the length of my entire windshield, a cracked mirror lens, and a dent on the side of the bed. I figured with the cost of all those things, I'd might as well get a new truck. Plus, the new truck is an automatic which is really nice to have in the 2nd worst traffic in the U.S.

Thanks again guys!
