I'm physically OK, financially over a barrel.

A good friend of mine has a 2012 F150 he bought new. Nice truck, horrible fuel mileage. He constantly says he should have bought a V8 truck instead. His was in for service for a week once, his loaner was identical to his truck - but had the 5 liter V8. He claims it got 2-3 MPG better than his V6.

Glad to hear that you are OK. I hope that you will be able to sort the truck issue out soon.

Great score Ray! I say you deserve it with all you've had to put up with at home lately.

The swap meet won't let the truck leave until tomorrow once it closes because it is inside a building full of vendors.

Still have not decided on a truck yet. Thinking on waiting to see what happens this next model year on them.

Anytime you need a pickup truck Ray...you're welcome to borrow mine.

I loan it out all the time...
