Silly,
The company had a f350 2005 diesel for awhile. Ran great for 7 years! After that a snap ring in the trans went, oil pumps started failing. Then one day the decision came down to get rid of it. The crazy thing is I liked it. You are right! Load that puppy up, start her up and she could handle a heavy load...

Solidstate,
We defiantly are traveling the same roads! As my wife likes to tell me, "you are a work in progress"....
