As it is you're paying $700 a month on a beater, might as well pay $600 on something solid, maybe with a warranty

 

Well, the truth is I'm already crying going in

 

I was doing some math and I could be paying $300/mo on a 2014~ if I stop being a cheap ass

 

Don’t forget about the cost of insurance like a lot of people do.

 

I'm not, that's payment only. When I said $700/mo for my current truck that was repairs only, not even fuel and insurance

Maybe I'd even come out ahead

 

He might even get a deal

 

If your doing 700 a month in repairs alone it’s time to dump the thing.

 

Says the guy with 2 trucks that easily take 1000 a months from time right now

 

It was time to dump it when it rolled off the assembly line, the 6.0 and 6.4 trucks are just trouble.

 

My family 7.3 has been great.



Other than eating transmissions. Oh well it’s getting a manual now

 

Huh. Didnt know I lived somewhat near the largest producer of automotive batteries. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.jo...360c565e-6624-5196-b79a-aa68008a3b68.amp.html

Keep hearing on the radio that their wanting line operators. Guess dealing with lead acid all day keeps the door revolving lol.

 

Yeah old Ford transmissions weren't the best. Somewhere around 2007 or so that changed

 

You're not terribly far from Deka either

 

East Penn is who took them over I think. Their in the next city over. Johnson Controls used to recruit a lot from my school for automation engineers. I see why now, I wouldnt want to work around that crap and wear a respirator for 9-10 hours a day.

 

speaking of batteries. i need ideas on what to do with these.

 

I have that TrueStart in my cruiser, good battery for a lead acid wet cell POS

 

im a fan of the panasonics
aka the one thats white

 

mobile welder

 

That's usually Interstate yeah? I dunno, I don't buy wet cell batteries, I just run them until they die and get something that doesn't suck like an AGM

 

but i have a miller pocket tig
