I’m working on a write up for posting tomorrow , gonna put it at $5900 obo, see what happens..
SR5 3.4L. 182,250 runs great.
Auto, ps, ac, heated seats (aftermarket), pioneer radio, bedrug, new tonneau in 22
Frame replaced in 2015, tires in 22, Battery 24, knock sensors yesterday

needs: oil change, rear bumper, time for timing belt based on years (not mileage), parking brake needs a little WD-40, and paint needs touch ups and clear coat is wearing.

So, no timing belt is working fine, just the normal 11 year wear/drying issues

I had been staying with the propane company solely for the convenience to my mom if there was an issue with the parlor stove, they would come out and fix it. They’ve done that in the past. But…enough is enough. I’ll be calling my supplier and change over to them.

And they’re taking advantage of you.
If you switch can you ask them to come and pump out all of the gas so that you can then get it filled with the cheaper company’s ?

I wait until the tank is nearly empty and then the new company changes the tank. It’s rented.

No, I'm not into hurting goats. I thought goat porn was like murder porn or (because I knit) yarn porn.

An ex-member had posted banable sexy pics. All were deleted (and he was banned) except one picture of a goat.
We don't know why there was a goat pic, but it became the story of goat.porn.

So I’m a bit proud of my response to an email. Some background: my mother ran out of propane last week that is used for cooking and supplemental heating. I get this email today along with the bill in the mail…

I am writing to you regarding our recent service call which indicated your tank had run out of propane. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this might have caused you.

The best way for us to prevent runouts and assess your propane needs is to install a wireless propane monitoring device on your tank. This device sends us tank readings twice a day, so we will know exactly how much propane is left in your tank. Many of your neighbors have already taken advantage of this new technology, taking the guesswork out of the usage and guarantees a runout will never happen.

While our service technician was dealing with your propane run-out, I had him install such a wireless propane monitor on your tank. This device will help ensure that you never run out of propane again. We offer this monitor well below our costs – only $5 per month which includes the hardware, installation, cellular service, and monitoring.

If you do not want the propane monitor, please let me know and I will have it removed. Otherwise, next month you will see an invoice for $60 for your first year of propane tank monitoring.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me at, or send me an email at

Very truly yours,

Joe

Oil and Propane Department Manager

Standard Oil of CT, Inc.

And my response:

Hello Stuart,

After some thought, I will not pay a rental fee for the tank monitoring at my mother’s house. Many other suppliers provide the same gage free of charge; for example, my supplier, Seymour Oil & Propane provides the gage free to me. As does my oil supplier, Phillips Oil in Prospect. I suggest Thurston Energy do the same in order to: 1) reduce deliveries, and, 2) reduce potential for lost customers. Thurston Energy is by far the most expensive propane supplier in the area and I have retained your company solely due to the fact that the heating stove was purchased from you. For example, Phillips Propane is selling fill ups between 60-120 gallons of propane at 2.940 whereas Thurston charged 3.969 for 88 gallons; that’s 1.03 more a gallon!
As we are automatic delivery customers, I expect not to run out. A 90 year old woman shouldn’t have to deal with lack of propane for cooking and essentially the main heat source in her family room. Whatever Thurston Energy has to do to prevent running out of propane without me incurring any additional service fees is fine. I think the exorbitant per gallon rate that you charge should more than cover the tank monitoring. Please let me know what Thurston Energy’s plans are to prevent running out of propane or if I should seriously entertain changing suppliers. Feel free to call and discuss this with me at (xxx)xxx-xxxx at your convenience.

Regards,

Paul

Excellent reply Paul. I would be changing suppliers.
