    I relinquished my trailer. First time ever. Was parked on the street outside stealership.

    We don't want the liability. Girl at trailer U says they have moar available.

    We're going to pick it up Monday.

    Truck 2's went at like 850K. I've never seen one go.

    I think whoever had the truck before us, for however briefly, just beat it up.

    Just need one moar year out of it.

    I haven’t had any problems with mine. Honestly I never heard of Detroit having a problem. I did purchase the 5yr/500,000 warranty, which will time out in October. Currently at 390,000 miles.

    I did however have the water pump got out early on.(less than 200,000 miles.) and I had a back box go out on the transmission last year. A few other minor things here and there.

    I thought you got it new. Personally I’m not interested in a used truck anymore. Low mileage or not. you just really don’t know what you’re getting. And by the time it’s all said and done, the money is about the same.

    I might even put II back on, and leave III here until it's paid off then just sell it.

    There was a DUDE that was interested in coming to The Starve in II. But he said a bad thing. " I don't want to burn any bridges in case I don't like it."

    That's like ringing the bell in mine and The OM's eyes. So the first time something breaks, or you have a bad month, you're going to bail? And leave us with the big repair? Denied.

    My red motor took a lickin and kept on tickin. Only big hit on that dude was the aftertreatment, and it wasn't all that huge compared to a Detroit.

    So's do we get the new Vette? Leftover scatpack? Nice watch?

    No. We paid our taxes and got a new fuel pump and water pump.

    This is the harsh reality of this world. Totally unfair.
