    No what I'm saying is whether you buy old or new you're going to have these problems now with that saying a lot of this new emissions crap is causing more harm than good..... simply put old or new a vehicle is bound to fail you at some point

    What did you expect? You just hauled a heavy load through mountains and trafffic? You're just asking to blow up the engine.

    Snigger, tee-hee, snigger. ;)

    Seriously I feel for you. The risk of your situation played a big part in me deciding to remain a company schmuck. I don't think I could deal with that kind of emotional stress. I'd be trying to scam DFO's out of his meds in a hurry.

    It seemed like my engine locked up but I managed to get it started and its running okay now.
    Breakdowns certainly are stressful.
    However so is having a dispatcher sending u into ice storms, not getting u home ontime and etc.
    There always BS some way or another.
