    After rolling it last summer the front end ain't right. Don't know if you can see from the pic but the left wheel if (looking from the front view is kicked out more than the right. Don't think the frames bent I think it's the A arm

    I know it’s tough with the prices of trucks right now but you looking to move into something newer any time soon?

    It's not bad for what it is. We're getting a couple more pounds of boost so she's pulling a little better. No significant gain in mpg as far as I can tell, but that's kind of subjective and hard to measure since every load we do is so different, but over a longer period of time we may see a measurable improvement yet.

    Honestly I'd recommend tearing things apart to do the cleaning instead. That way everything can be inspected and you don't run into issues like we just had. That was my original plan before bambi struck and we were down for 2 months.

    If we could ever keep rolling long enough to get some capital up maybe.
