    You should drive it into the ground. C'mon.

    My first truck a 9200i , blew up at 735k. That was a month before my replacement truck, current truck, went bad.

    Question:
    If you happen to come across a stupid driver, is it OK to try and beat the stupid out of them?

    It's got no blow by. I changed oil and filters every 20K.

    Haven't done an oil sample in awhile, but they were all great.

    New radiator core too.

    Not trying to get your goat. Yet you the buyer should have detected loose lugnuts in a pretrip.

    Did you try to trade it in? When you got your current truck.

    Part of it is all of our money is tied into it. It's a huge part of my financial success or failure.

    I get that driver. It's all on you. I respect the American trucker. Most think they can do it yet few can.

    I have daily conversations with my truck. To me it is like plants . The better you talk to them the more healthy they grow . Trucks are much the same , u speak good to them they take care of you.... It is like when u are working on it and cussing and moaning trying to get a bolt loose or something similar. Finally get it loose only to bust ur head on something 2 minutes later that leaves you seeing stars ... that is your truck saying " thats what u get ####er"
