@Dgibson529 and @bucktales eta 5:45. Fucking traffic

 

My brother just picked up a 1500 with the v6. It's not a base model either

 

Saw it on IG first!

 

Shit and I thought I was putting on a decent amount of miles. What do you do that you're putting on that many miles?

@BigMacMcCoy Looking good

 

I bought mine in April '15 and just rolled past 80k.

 

" Viking"

 

You bet! Shoot me a PM with your number so we can keep in touch tomorrow!

Oh I'll never be fully clean shaven haha. Just time to switch it up!

Funny enough, some boys are coming from outside of Boston to see me!

I appreciate it!

 

Positive. There are lots of forum posts ‘why no 6.2 in the 2500?’. For some reason, GM has never put the 6.2 into their HD trucks and stuck with the tried and true 6.0.

 

I’ve driven a couple times to and from Florida before I moved up here and now I’m a lineman apprentice working about 100 miles away from my house

 

I do a lot of New York to Michigan trips. So I used to work in Dearborn for Ford. And would visit the family back in NY about every 6 weeks. Moved back to NY two years ago and then moved the then fiancé now wife back last April. Her family is still in Michigan so we’ll go back and forth. A round trip is like 1,500 miles so do that 10 times a year it racks up. Started now to just rent a car during the non winter months when we go out and then if there’s a deal. My work commute in MI used to be about 110 miles per day which didn’t help. Now it’s like 20 miles round trip for work

 

I just got a bite on my wheels and I scrutinized them and took more photos and found factory flaws on the rings on two and just likely torpedoed the deal as the guy got back to me and backed out for "financial reasons". I hate my perfectionist streak, but at least I'm honest and can live with myself

So likely I won't be changing out but I suppose that's first world problems. The to-do list on the truck is long enough that it's not worth eating mod money.

/thanks for listening for the rant

 

No problem!
But seriously it is better for that to happen then the guy to find them and call you back either bitching or asking for a refund. The black will still look nice!

 

Good times at the brewery with @Dgibson529, @bucktales and @tgriff

Gotta do it again sometime, and hopefully more peeps can join.

 

which wheels? 3rd gen off roads?

Edit: just saw your post in the for sale thread.

 

You guys drive back basically every month to see her family? That's crazy imo, but whatever works for you!

 

My daily commute is 110 miles round trip.. Highway miles it does add up... 331,325 so far

 

Not so much anymore haha it’s toned down a lot with her being pregnant. We used to go more to NY. Now it’s like every 3 months or so to Michigan

 

Morning all, nice day today down here.

 

I was thinking about it more, and when I lived in N.C. I would travel up to MA probably about once every 2.5-3 months. There is always some family party or holiday to get back for!

 

Yeah it’s always a birthday or something going on to make you have to come back. Always great when they give you grief for not doing the 8 hour drive
