    So, today while getting a few tools out of my passenger side compartment I locked my passenger door from the outside. Used the tools, then went back to open my door and found out I can unlock my passenger door but now it won't open from the inside or out lol.

    On top of that I had a marker light on top of the trailer go out, got that fixed, and then two miles away from the ta a trailer tire started to separate and through chunks of Gator back everywhere. So got that fixed.

    Now, I'm without use of my passenger door, and I have duct tape as a butterfly window haha. I have had the worst luck the past few days.

    I'm at a CVS distro in Alabama, an Arnold driver was leaving and told me not to be in a hurry, it took them almost 11 hours to unload him. Oh what fun ;)

    Well turned in my old 9400i this trip out in Marshfield. Picked up a brand new 2012 Cascadia with 74 miles on it. Plastic on the seats, new truck smell, this thing is amazing. I'm extremely happy now. It rides smooth, shifts smooth, quit, great bed, hvac is nice, not stoked about the collision sensor but the cruise control part of it's nice, etc. This thing has me finally rolling without issues. *knock on wood* When my FM told me the truck number I dropped the relay and went searching before I even sent in my empty call. When I saw my brand new truck I felt like a fat kid finding the last piece of chocolate cake.

    I got mine with 276 miles on it. Maybe it was used to tow the others up there. Still had the plastic on the seats and new truck smell though. They are sweet rides. I just rolled 8350 miles when I got to the house and no issues yet. The collision sensor takes some getting used to, but it is nice for maintaining your distance when an idiot merges in front of you on the open road. It usually just backs off the throttle a bit then picks back up when the other vehicle pulls away from you. It's also nice to see the speed of the vehicle in front of you.

    If I could keep my truck, but have the dd15 I would be a very happy camper. I'm just not happy with the fuel economy in this mbe engine. I had a mechanic tell me that those dd15 engines do lose prime easy, but I've heard good things from everyone else. My Cascadia is an 09 Blume truck.

    What year is that century and how many miles does it have ?
    I figured as much as you run it wouldn't take long to retire that thing.
