  1. Diesels are durable and known for their longevity (unless it's the old Ford 7.3s or 6.0s) However, items like injectors will be costly. Another thing to consider with the mileage and age of truck is the rest of the parts on the truck itself. Brakes/Suspension/Transmission/Rear End Gears, Transfer Case if 4x4, etc....Those items will wear out and degrade much quicker than the diesel itself. Approach an older, high mileage truck with those factors in your mind and find out if they need replaced or will go out soon.
  2. Curly Antlers: I Think that they are Kudu. Basically a weird name for an antelope
  3. I think model year 2006 was the last year for that 6.0 in trucks. The vans weren't so lucky.
  4. Hi Tom, I really don't have anything to say about Ford or Ram/Dodge as I'm a GM person, but I would only consider 2011 or newer GM twins. Can't give you advice on which is the best diesel either as I'm also not a fit for diesels because I make multiple short trips daily and I need the payload capacity on my 2500 for my 5th wheel For example, I have a 2015 Silverado LT 4x4 Crew Cab w/6.0 gasser and 4.10 rear end. My payload is stickered at 2,831lbs. A friend just bought a 2015 Silverado LT 4x4 Crew Cab w/6.6 Duramax and 3.73 rear end. His payload is stickered at 2,367lbs. That's 464lbs
  5. Mmmmm. My favorite food. Yes, I have waited in that line for one hour for a bucket of those fries. I've even knocked a seagull down out of midair that was trying to steal them. Don't mess with my Thrasher fries. That's serious business Sent from my iPhone
  6. This is what I use that got from Lowes. http://www.lowes.com/pd_146781-40883-KL12120_0Z2z8vm__?productId=3522750&pl=1&Ntt=kobalt+air+pump You can plug it in to 110/115 volt outlet (You will need an extension cord for this) or you can plug it into a 12v source. You set it to the PSI you want/need and then it will shut off automatically for you so you can walk away and do other things. I use it on the muscle car. I use it on the street rod. I use it for the lawn tractor and lawn cart. I use it on bicycles. I use it for my wife's car and I use it on my truck which the I k
  7. I get the same mileage on my 2015 2500HD Gasser towing the 3300lb. (9990lb. gvw) dump trailer empty and loaded as I do with my 5th wheel. I was hoping for better mileage since it was empty.
  8. I mentioned that to my wife and she had no idea what I was talking about. Yeardley Smith sure does have a face for The Simpsons
  9. I'll be honest, I thought about trying Via Napoli, but my bubbe's voice was screaming in my head "Don't be a schmendrick and pay $20 for a small pizza." Her voice was already berating me for paying $140/night for the Fort.
  10. J&D Campground in Catawissa/Elysburg, PA. Stayed there last in October. Nice view, and wide open spaces and 1 mile from Knoebels Grove Amusement Park. We have talked about parking our camper there as a Seasonal for awhile now. Artillery Ridge Campground in Gettysburg. Stayed there last Memorial Day even though it's 10 minutes from the house. I just like it there, I can't explain why but everything just 'feels right' to me at that place.
  11. I think so. Shipping would suck though. I really like the lantern add-on.
  12. tiered tickets would work perfectly for our next planned visit.
  13. You can check out local auctions as well. The auction I work for (Day Job) will be selling two golf carts. Gas Powered though.
  14. When are they accepting applications for that job? Sent from my iPhone
  15. Also, pay attention to the payload ratings of whatever truck you look at. The rating can be found on a sticker usually found when you open the driver's door.
  16. I think leather/rawhide would look the best, but rope may be more practical.
  17. I tried to click the up arrow 328 times but it would only allow it one time. Are we married to the same woman?
  18. oh no...got "whatever" as a reply tonight when I told her not to wreck my truck again tonight. The other night, she somehow turned it into her co-workers vehicle while backing out of the spot.
  19. pshaww......I already know this stuff. I just chose to not acknowledge it. :)
