    when u research ur equipment appropriately,u can drive what u want,if u spend ur money right. i'm home every other day,off on weekends,got a CAT mechanic on speed dial and spend plenty of time with the family. i never owned a FL,but i know quality when i ride in it lol. if FL has been good for u,then drive what u drive playa.

    If aint got a warranty for at least two yrs of running (300K), I would not look at it. My friend had a turbo go out with his 02 Columbia at 580K, and per him he did not have a warranty. I browse truck paper ads all the time and the trucks that are priced above the others include a good warranty that remains until 600K or states one can be purchased for x amount.

    Those warranty's aren't worth the tissue's there written on.:biggrin_2559: And that's truckpaper hook line and sinker for the person looking for a truck said truck for 35k 300k warranty it covers only certain parts. A warranty isn't everything well for me it isn't unless im buying electronics. And for 600k umm i'd rather fix my own small parts instead of some mechanic that will hurt my poor truck. After the warranty is up you wont even know how to replace something like a air governor it was under warranty you never learned never have touched tools.

    Your first rig should be an older truck that you have to wrench on it occasionally...and I meant occasionally....Not an everyday event.....

    I digress...The older truck is the way you'll learn.....
