    I paid 14k for my third hand diesel in December last year. Put the truck to work the following January pulling campers. Made a decent living at it. Until it started costing me thousands in repairs. The 6.7 cummins is the 6.0 of today. Constantly see guys myself included blowing headgaskets, turbos locking up, etc. Lost mine at 150k miles. 3k later it's got a new gasket and arp studs. Once I can get it sold at a massive loss to me I'll never buy another. I had less problems out of my 6.0 than this truck and it had more miles on it.

    I see it all the time out here. As soon as the oilfield hits a bump in the road, it all goes back to the bank and they’re driving a $400 Mercury Mistake or something.

    I knew it looked like I-40 over by Weatherford.

    I’ve stopped at that big cross at Groom a few times. Pretty cool stuff.
