    It does if you don't also have to pay mileage. Dirty shame such an expensive repair.

    It is what it is. In hindsight, had I jumped as soon as I had title in hand, I don’t think I’d have the reference to get approved for the repair like I did.
    In theory it will take 30 days, but that’s only calculating the holiday break. I should have my truck back before 2nd week in December

    I hate that that is happening to you. Hopefully you'll be pleased with the repairs..maybe save on fuel mileage. Take a deep breath with me...om om om.

    I’m good with it. Timing is bad, that’s all. But when would it be good?

    Lesson learned the hard way. Now you know what so many don't make it.
    This lesson should be taken to heart of everyone buying their own truck.
    Hope it all turns out OK. My fear right now is taxes for us. But I think we're covered.
     
    Wickedfire77 Thanks this.

    Places with lumpers suck. Place I was delivering to only unloads on 3rd shift. 8pm to 4am.
    Guess what? Their weekend starts at 4am Friday. Yay team.
    Enjoying FL until Sunday evening.

    Especially when record lows are made at home in Michigan
