I'd luv to hear what they told the officer when asked what happened. That thing crumbled like a sheet of aluminum foil. You'd never guess he ran into you based on the minimal damage to the Ford.
Glad everyone's fine.

If your letting a shop do the work on the kid's dime
more than likely they will put in a new hitch. I had asked
about just replacing the bolts and the shop said that the
insurance co would not risk it with a hitch strike. They did
not want to deal wit ha failure down the road that could be
blamed on them being cheap.

Well Monster might look pretty, but still no start. She only builds 200 oil psi during crank. No trouble codes, IPR starts at 14 and goes to 84 during crank, I can't find any leaks in the system and I have a brand new Dieslite HPOP. I'm at a bit of a loss for what to check next. I might have to break down and call one of the local(ish) shops for some help.

sounds like its not building pressure... how strong is the crank?? if the engines not turning over fast enough it wont build the needed pressure to fire the injectors.

Not really.
More like a ranch and home but it is employee owned. They sell, food, electronics, guns, ammo, clothing, boots/shoes, hobby stuff, knives, a little automotive...............

Now that I explain it like that, I guess its kinda like a small scale Wal Mart, but only around in the upper Northwest.

I'll add it to my list of places to visit when we decide to go west. This year we are heading north. Canada around Niagara Falls and what not.

They are a lot of them in Oregon. Their corporate office is in Eugene. I believe they spam from Medford, Or to Seattle, Wa.
