:big_smile:

Thats a selling point for me! I actually like any truck that starts and runs......best truck ive ever owned was a 91 dodge 3/4 with a cummins...wish i still had that one....worst truck ive ever owned was a dodge with a hemi.....pretty overrated there
I take that back.......6.5 turbo...worst truck by far

totally agree with both points. worst truck i ever drove was a '78 dodge 6-banger. once it started it was just underpowered. having to endure the underpowered starter just grated my nerves every time. wrin, wrin, wrin, wrin, wrin, wrin, vroom. even with fully charged battery.

Ford didn't take the "bailout" money, but they did support/testify FOR the bailout to be available. (25% of Fords top dealers also own GM or Chrysler franchises) and they thought it would hurt the suppliers/industry if it didn't go thru.
They also asked congress for a $9b "credit line" (not a bailout, watch out for semantics here... ) just in case the company needed it due to the worsening economy.
They also received $5.9b in gov loans in '09 for "retooling".

They all take $ from the gov. They all make the gov a lot of $.

it's almost as bad as debating politics nowdays.... they've all done wrong and they all have their hand out and they're all planning on screwing you one way or another.

I'm not very picky about auto brand, I just go with whatever I think is a bargin local and used.


Scratch all of that, no auto is a bargin.

Here is load testing the bed I put the tractor all the way to the nose of the trailer and were it is in the pic, just jerking the trailer around to see if it will hold together and it did.

Matt how is the science project going?

Went back into the exhaust... Will re-test, then check squish, and start calculating...
Or...
I may take Stephen's advice and just take it apart, poke at it with a stick a little, then put it all back together... :msp_confused:
