you've got a point there. now i just need to recruit someone to come with me, parents say can't come alone
i would bring my dad, but he's a old school small block chevy beats anything kinda mentality. He has told me he wont help on this truck cause 1) Its a Furd 2) He dislikes diesels. Of course on the last truck i had, he helped all the time. Guess its time to learn by trial and error
Every time their is a problem with my truck such as brakes, alternator, starter or drive shaft only once and I need my father to bring me for parts he says I should get rid of it and get something smaller. I always hear how much money I am putting into it blah blah blah.
Every time he says that I remind him of how much I paid for it, how long I have had it and how many miles i put on it since I bought it. Then I ask him how much he paid for his Ford Explorer he bought used, paid the same as me 5000 it is newer than my truck by 10+ years and how he had problems with it from day one when he bought it used. Then I ask him how much he paid in repairs since he has had it. He then say's well that's different.
The other thing is he says I should get rid of it but then he calls me when he has something large that he needs to be moved with it.
No matter what you do parent's always try to have some kind of control over their kids even when the kids are adults. At least that has been my experience.
Don't worry about learning by trial and error their are plenty of guys here that will guide you in the right direction and if they are close by they will even come over to give you a hand.
He don't complain anytime i drive a chevy, only with my fords. I'll admit i'm a hardcore chevy guy, but the ford IDI's are a whole lot better than the 6.2/6.5's
And he can't really say anything cuz his 1986 Chevy K10 4x4 with a really wore out 305 has been undriveable due to the redneck james bond smoke screen.
Woo hoo just got my vacation approved. I'll call the campground in the morning and see whats left for the taking. Anybody else coming up from the south?
