I can tell you more later.
The guy said the engine and transmission bought were rebuilt 3 years ago. I'm not looking to do upgrades and stuff to it if I get it, just as a daily driver/beater truck.

Just wondering what is any of the downfalls to them.

Kyle- no. Not trading my sd for it. May be trading my 91 ranger for it.

Well I am getting Toyo Open Coutry AT. I could have gotten the Hankook At or Mt but I would have waited another week and I didnt want to do that. I guess we will see how good these are.


Im ready to do my burnout

well lemme restate that. some of the 6.9s were known to crack for that was related to the heater or something else and it was corrected in the 7.3 idis.

Any word from the insurance company Kyle? Man - It's gotta be nerve racking having to wait.
