I've walked on dealers that won't provide an ECM print out.

Beggars can't be so choosy. Better to drive an old Vulva than to sit at home. The fanciest truck on the road pays the same as a plain jane.

There is no such thing as a "BACK-HAUL" everything has a start and stop point, If it needs to be moved then it is a load, period. Insurance, tires, fuel,etc... aren't any cheaper heading towards your home than they are going away. BACKHAUL is BS.

I may have to dream just a little while longer. I will still need a bit more money for a down-payment before I can go with any of these....

I resemble that remark... I've been drooling over that IH LoneStar since te unvailing. Now I see Walmart is running them so maybe I can get an idea of whether they are sweet rides or just gold plated doggy poo.
