Yeah I get it man. The carrier actually sounds decent from the outside looking in. The truck just seems par for the course with these new age used trucks.

Crap happens. I still have a fair chunk of change in the bank and despite mechanical setbacks I'm still doing pretty well in the profit column. When you buy a used truck there is an element of risk. Morehouse has service records going back to the day the truck was delivered. Frankly, the injectors were no real surprise, they were at the limit of their service life. As for the oil in the ECM, turns out that isnt terrible uncommon with the cm2250, it's a design flaw that the new harness corrected. Is it frustrating? Hell yes it is, but I put on big boy pants every day and it isn't anything I can't overcome.

That’s a very nice looking home. I am extremely jealous of your garage. I had one at my last house that I think was as big as your garage looks. I had the drive wide enough that I could bring the entire rig home. Now we live in the city and I don’t even get to park in the garage, but that is changing soon.Tug Toy, Shock Therapy and Broke Down 69 Thank this.

Ya...those things are what dreams are made of. The tuned C15's sound so freakin' good. I hear their mpg isn't as good...but Dang...I married a beautiful woman, and it's 100% the work.
See now I want a yellow one.
