My New Toy...97 Chevy 3/4 Ton

Postby Triple_7 » Thu Nov 27, 2008 11:25 am

My old 89 F-150 that I've had since July proved to be a nightmare, it ran great till a couple weeks ago, head gasket blew but it was still drivable though pretty rough.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Quite a bit, July it was $4.29 a gallon and though it went up a little for the holiday weekend its now around $1.70 a gallon.

Sorry to hear about the trip, I would have been furious...but hey, you got a 3/4 ton truck, that would be enough to keep me smiling!  My last 3/4 ton was a 98 Ram 2500, loved that beast, sure do miss it, but I upgraded my girlfriend to a wife, and had to get rid of it.  Once she finishes her doctorate though, I will be driving a big rig again!

Go for the straight pipes, they sound terrific with the 350!  You'll probably even see an increase in mileage and hp
