I am biased.:biggrin:
Although, I trust my duramax with 236k, to pull the rig to go racing back east. I don't think I could own a truck that I didn't trust. Too many late nights driving through the desert and not enough time to be stranded
But I bet next time NGE goes through the desert with that truck, he will have a cooler full of beer, a jug of water, and a chick to keep him from being bored to death waiting for hours on a tow truck
:biggrin: ^^^Quote:

No worries. Not much to check out on the new cracker right now. It is getting buffed out and I will have it back on Fri. I did make all the parts and take them to get polished and anodized. Should have it running by the end of next weekendQuote:

I'm very thankful I was driving out solo and that it wasn't 100+ degrees out there. I wouldn't want to put someone through that or be stranded in the heat with no A/C.
The plan right now is do some research on the web before I take it to another shop. I'm also looking for a good Ford tech in the area. I plan to have the truck at a shop later this week. I'm kinda busy this week so I can't get to it. I'm glad I have a second car or else I'd be in a real pickle.Quote:

Just to expand on it a little :D
So a few guys have chimed in on the boards and recommended that I replace the T-stat and clear the codes. I'm gonna try that.
Lol. I'd try to get my old truck back 1st!Quote:

Call me when it goes Ka-plunk within the warranty :)Quote:
