Guys, you all have been magnificent friends and I think I can call you all that. From the first time I met Brian in Baghdad, he was known as a friend, great guy, just liked to talk trucks. You guys are all great guys and if I could have went forward with this, I know you would have all helped, but it is not in the cards, I have learned so much from you all, it is incredible (helped me spend alot of money) and I will always be a poster on these boards. Sometimes it is hard to see the forest for the trees, so I had to open my eyes a little. I want to buy a house and I know all you guys know what that takes, and with the money I generate from the truck, and from not putting more money in the truck will help with credit and give me more buying power, so I can have a nice home and then I will look for my next truck.
Another thing I learned from you guys, is buy what you want the first time, don't try and build what you want, ie, I want a manual tranny truck, now the Auto with GV is nice, I like manuals, truck did not have it, but I lived with it. Truck did not have a turbo, if I had just found a 94 with a turbo, I would have been light years ahead in money. Truck did not have the correct gear ratio for what I needed, so, I PAID to make that right. So all in all, if I had found more that stuff in the truck I wanted, I would have spent alot less money and effort with getting my truck to where I wanted it. But now, through alot of trial and error, I know what I want in a truck and won't mess up again. Thanks alot to all you guys, you guys really are the know it alls/most! of the diesels... Scotty
