Ahhhh, so young and prone to ADHD type decisions, ......hahahaha. Jk...... Hmmmm, any reason you've gone to a gigantic diesel in place of the lil yoter?(I know, it gets around the same mileage, lol).... Just curious....
Everyone has their reasons, ..... that's all that matters, that the reasons are YOURS and that they fit your needs.... I admire your being able to so quickly let go of something you worked so hard on.... Must have been a necessity or strong desire for 'more pulling power', eh? (Or maybe you just can't say on here, "Yeah, it's blowing a couple rings already and a rod bearing is coming loose.... OH YEAH, the top end came apart, too!".... ? lol. Again, jk.) Oh well, .... one less 'red betty' in the club now...
lol.
Best wishes and happy new year, man!

trust me, it was really hard to let her go. i regretted it as soon as she drove away. was especially tough when i woke up and she wasnt in the driveway. but i just had the feeling something else would let go on me, knowing my trucks history. I needed something i could count on to take 200+ mile drives, and i needed a car that i could get to chico and back relatively easy. was NOT easy in my truck. and i wanted a new project. something new, with a little more power. i havent bought anything yet, but its either gonna be a 7.3 powerstroke or a 1990 12v cummins. ive also been looking at a 3rd gen runner or a tacoma. still havent decided but ill post up some pics when i get it.
