thank you for your post Lula Mae. I read it in it's entirety and appreciate you sharing all that you did. I particularly like the image of Just outside of Rapid City. Glad you made it home safely. again, thanks for sharing.

Probably not what the OP'er was looking for, but I bought myself a new passenger side mirror for Christmas to replace the original one that lost a battle with a basketball hoop pole last Saturday evening. The mirror was winning until it wasn't flexing beyond its limits, cracking under pressure...

I like the artifical grass.

Real estate taxes are out of control here in Ohio. In a landmark OH supreme court case between DeRolph vs State of Ohio back in 1997, the court found that the state's school funding system violated the Ohio Constitution's requirement for a "thorough and efficient" system of public education. In...

Great post filled with words to live by. You sound like someone who lives by two of my all time favorite books... "The Millionaire Next Door" and "Rich Dad Poor Dad". These books should be required reading for high school students and they should be required to write a paper about them and be...

looks like a lot of fun. thank you for sharing.

I can appreciate your question. No doubt the having any issues with a new truck, especially being as expensive as our trucks are is frustrating. Aside from 3 issues with the 2 Gen 14's I've had, they've been good trucks. the 21 3.5 eco truck had the vibration at highway speeds, which sounds...

I' m not a fan of kiosks at my local grocery store, but I do find myself using them at larger regional stores. Maybe it's time dealerships install point of sale kiosks. The incentive for the dealer would be eliminating the sales person commission and others involved in the transaction and maybe...

Thanks for sharing. Definitely useful information

I'm not questioning what you shared. I have no reason not believe you. I believe you may have stopped short. Let me explain... if Ford decides to roll a defective vehicle off the line, transport it to a dealer for sale and the dealer sells it before making the repairs, then it has been sold and...

"He told me Ford will install known bad parts to keep the line moving as it's cheaper to pay dealers to fix them than stopping the line,.." what a short sighted view. I can think of many reasons this is not cheaper. 1 when ford paid for a rental for 2+ weeks and one month's car payment, I'm not...

Here's an idea, build a better vehicle and make sure it's been put through an exhaustive qc process so that when it ends up in hands of the buyer, they don't need to go to the dealer except for routine maintenance or an occasional warranty issue. this just may lessin the burden on dealerships...

Those skid plates would be a buy for me if they were compatible with a PB and available on a website. I do not have a FB account as those that need to know are in the know and those that aren't don't. Nothing against FB, just not my cup of joe.

That sounds like a leaf that made its way into the engine compartment. This happened to me. Maybe not the case here, but its worth looking into the possibility. i'd start by opening the engine air filter box.

I'm not pushing a vehicle off to the side of any road. I've been hit by a selfish drunk and being out of commission for nearly 8 months I'm back at living. If you'd like to PM me with your cell, I would be happy to save your number and call you when I need a push😄. I just may need it if my...
