    I can appreciate the effort you're puttin into it. I'm also one to jump headfirst without knowing the water, but that learning on the fly will make you it's bit-ch for a good while.

    it definitely sucks and it definitely made me. I’m glad for the experience and being in situations that I would wouldn’t encounter on a daily basis in the right truck in fact this learning curve showed me the capabilities of just the average truck and if need be how to make it work I’m still trying to finalize the deal on the other truck so I don’t wanna cross the finish line too soon

    IMG_9126.jpeg And if anybody is wondering, yes, I had to replace one airbag yesterday. Bag had a hole in it. I went to raise the trailer after being loaded and the trailer wanna go up. had to leave the trailer at the shipper and go pick up an airbag and put it on. I got lucky in the extreme.

    They are nice trucks. Dad was watching one with a blown motor on an auction last week, went for more than he was wanting to give though. He had a 2WS CAT crate motor tracked down he was planning to put in it, would have been a horse!
     
    AFC, Big Road Skateboard and Oxbow Thank this.

    I think you should really consider a manual, you won’t spin your drives down in like you did several days ago nearly so easily. They aren’t rocket science, and I am confident you would be much happier with it in the long run
