    Are you guys going to disown me if I bought a volvo? I had more head problems with my ISX so instead of being down another 3 or 4 weeks I just parked it and bought another truck to keep moving. I dont know whats wrong yet. Its going to the shop if I can get it unburied from all the snow.

    Pound Puppy, was that you I saw going east on us 30 in ohio today? It looked like you had a oversize yellow something or other on your wagon. I waved but too late I think. I was west bound in a blue volvo.

    Man, a new head would of been cheaper than a new truck. As for disowning you, won't matter what your drive, you will always be our little ugly hairless butt monkey.

    Who said I was hairless? Ugly maybe. Dude I'm going to charge you for the cost of the windex to clean my screen after I spewed a perfectly good adult beverage all over my screen.

    OK I picked myself up off of the floor from laughing now. To answer your question, yes a new head would be cheaper than a $16k volvo but what about the downtime? I might be guilty of suffering the grass is greener syndrome. I thought my little binder needed to be replaced. I thought a volvo was going to be the perfect truck for me. I am not saying it isnt nice but I want my binder which I have named "Mighty Mouse" back.

    Congratulations mr. Monkey, hopefully this one will keep you running more. What is to become of the other truck?

    Juggalo: what is that app for the fuel mileage? I had it on my old phone and forgot the name.


    Kona: Glad to see you back. Did you change anything on your truck while it got fixed up?

    Lucar, I thought it was worse than it might be. It started to make a bad ticking noise in the top of the motor. It might just be a bad jake rocker arm, but I will find out this week hopefully. If it is a minor fix then I will move back into the binder and sell the volvo. I didn't think I was going to miss the binder this much. The volvo is nice and all but I don't think it is the truck for me. But that is why I bought it, so I could keep running and making money while I decided what to do. That $5k repair bill from oct still stings, I couldn't help but wonder how much this one was going to cost.
