my dad was a hotshot driver, hauled a lot of oil field pipe. when the market went down in the 80,s, he had no more work.
I would like to find out more, but one big thing first.
I am 17.Is there an age limit for the insurance?
I finished high school 2 years early, and I am restoring a F350,280ZX and ford N9 before I start mechanics school, and I have done 30k miles of towing in the last year, and taken 126.5k of metal to the scrap yard , but I still need more $$$ for my 3 restorations.

That automatic transmission is TOUGH like C6.
2001 F250 Lariet V8 5.4L with 4.10
it have plow on it. It on #1 transmission with transfer case. Old transmission it work but SLIP so bad it get higher rpm to engage 4 gears 1 to 2 then got while then 3 got longer to get in 4.
It have 100,000 miles now.
Before you say that transmission is weak.
Owner of truck is HARD HARD ON THAT truck you be shock to see what he done to his F250.
Don't stop when change D to R or R to D just roll like 3-5 mph then change gears. I witness when he do I could hear loud BANG under floor. He was plow park lot.
Rev engine to 6,000 rpm it kind moving pretty fast for heavy truck.
45 mph in reverse.
Isn't that crazy abusive?
That how I want own Super Duty F250 we have one but try buy from Dad.

Found that last night he told me he keep secret for 9 years now. Bought F250 First day and went in Mud then stuck for 2 days then he have detail so His Dad came from Florida Have no idea it was in mud but say Nice truck. He must be so LUCKY that truck work.
Plus 102,000 miles were HEAVY foot on gas Like let rpm over too high. I am sure you won't let him use your truck. That why I won't let him use my vehicles with manual but if it have automatic I let him use.
For now he want switch to chevy 2500 because he is sick of brake and engine problems. I try fix but he wear out brakes too fast.

Why
He was not happy with F250 it ride rough, brakes never work great, engine make TICK loud, gas mpg IS HORRIBLE BAD 6-9 mpg., and engine's oil system is CLOG I try drive long trip it still clog with 5w20.
I drove this 90 miles yesterday I drove REAL REAL SLOW but got 9 mpg at 55 mph with cruise control.
New brakes cost $200 for front then rear so it $400 dollars every 6 months due slide pin seizure.
He say chevy 2500 ride is smooth and not bounce like his F250. I told him it won't held for plow. But I will make him get right chevy truck with gusset on ifs.

Have you told him his truck is like that from abuse?
my 6.8 v10 has never gotten worse than 9.5 towing a load.
I get 15 highway a 65.
there must be something really screwed up with his truck.

I told him STOP DRIVE HARD on truck and I told him get sport car so he could do instead try use F250 like race car.
First day when I work on that. Oil was SLUDGE it overdue real bad 30,000 miles.
previous mechanic unplug pcv valve to make brake bad.
It been sit all times. Brakes got rust seizure. I have fun time try remove seizure pin slide in winter.
I will try get video of how he drive now I am sure you be say WOW.
Have video of him plow in reverse but poor quality. Park Lot is Huge It almost like it could hold 100 cars.
