i give u 550 for it

 

double it then add a zero and we'll talk

 

hey i got 600.......... just kidn you should cool off i had the same feeling last week but it sounds like you got a good truck and a fuel filter is not the end of the world i know some times the damn things nickle and dime you but think of 50,000 for a new one that looses 5,000 at least a year.

 

What do you do with this truck? Recovery?

I think its a nice truck, but i can't afford your price tag...

 

Hate to be that guy, but filters do not clog on their own - something needs to clog them, and stuff like that usually don't just happen by itself all of sudden - it's ether a batch of bad fuel, or the owner decides to be environmentally-friendly all of sudden and runs some bio through the tanks which loosens up all the junk accumulated in the system over the years - either way it's not the truck's fault, but really the owner's... So in your case, what causes your filter to clog up that quick?

 

think someone squirted ultra copper silicone in the tanks ( thats what seems to be in the filters. ) guess my neighbors are tired of me going out at 3 in the morning for a tow, hah hah....

 

locking fuel caps!!!!i would be irate and seek revenge.lol i dont play nice though

 

Then I guess it really wouldn't have mattered what truck you got... Why they hate you so much, is your truck excessively loud and/or smoky? Got a muffler before the stacks?

 

then just "deliver" their cars on the other side of the island lol.

 

I vote for this!

 

over half of your breakdowns and problems Chip,are not "the hillbilly limousine" (your trucks name) specific.
they are problems that you will have,or would have had with any truck.
now you want to beat on her because of the neighbors pranks and blame it on the truck? like any other fuel filter on a different rig wouldn't have clogged in the same situation or something lmao.
don't be so hard on the old girl lol.

 

feul filters are always in teh spares box
only take a minute to change

sleep on it, kinda hope ya keep in on the business; there will be other bad days but there'll be better days too

 

yes i got mufflers--twin 3" glasspacks. and i realize that any old truck has problems--but this one has been RIDICULOUS. i just cant put another cent into it, im done. now somebody take this piece of monkeyturd off my hands please.

 

are you interested in selling without all the towing gear, i want a super cap to put on my extended cab to mate with a smaller flat bed, but i also want all the other parts to make one really good truck and have extra parts when i need them.
