It is an 08 diesel. 3/4 ton 4X4. We needed another reliable truck that would pull a g/n horse trailer. The chevy is a 97 2wd with a 350 that won't do it. My PSD obviously will but at times is on a different assignment.(hunting season etc.). The little Nissmo we got rid of barely got 18 mpg.......

With all of the rebates and because DONNA wanted it......presto!

Is it just me, or does no one else see Jim's little smiley's? I guess I need a new secret decoder ring or something.

Same here, sorry I wasnt around last night to chat. Sorry to hear of this and hope you let us know. We are all friends here so we need to take care of each other.

I have to dress Troy also so don't feel bad, I just think it is a married guy thing. When I first met him he knew how to dress and when we got married it was like that concept was thrown out the window. lol.
I know someone exactly like this, make sure you take some time off there Mama, even if it is just flirting with us! You can always laugh with us.

Agreed. Dan, I've said it before, but your the man. Look for me in your neck of the woods this weekend, I'll be in Lake City and Kenmore working for the in-laws again.


New OT? Not going there. I think when this one is finished I may need a break. Been doing bids all night and if I get half of the jobs (I usually do at least get that) then I wont be around much. I love checking in though so I will continue to try. So many commitments these days, so little time.

I know the feeling, Joe. We went out looking for a replacement for the wife's Astro a few years ago, and came home with a Mitsubishi Rader DuraCross.

However, it's just a Dodge Dakota with Mitsubishi's skin on top, so I didn't feel to bad about it. Not a bad looking truck, either:
