What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

It was 80 on Friday and snowed yesterday. Indiana spring.

 

Didn’t see 80 maybe 62 they said lake was losing 1” of ice thickness per hour

 

Not real happy with past lukem right now. I wasn't thinking about a floor drain when I put in all that gravel and lime in the barn. Had to move a couple inches and it wasn't fun. Live and learn I guess.

 

Sounds to me like someone has a case of.......

 

My dear mother always told me;
Patience is a virtue son,
It does not happen to be one of your virtues

 

Called the concrete plant and to order my next 2 trucks for a couple weekends from now before they book up. Sorry - we don't do Saturday deliveries for under 50 yards anymore. Bro, you just did it 3 days ago. SOL.

Called the another company and they do Saturdays....$27/yard cheaper too.

 

Sounds like they did ya a favor.

 

Now that's a truck I could make good use of.

 

Not really. They've always done Saturday...just charged extra $50/truck. Been that way for years and years.

 

Just tryin to look at the bright side bud. In my opinion, they did you a favor. It's all about perspective. They pushed you to look elsewhere and you found it cheaper and no saturday upcharge? Or minimum? Only gamble is if they have decent drivers.

 

Gotcha.

 

It'd be even better with the 5.0 and not an Ecoboost. I like both the 2.7 and 3.5 EB engines, it's just that the 5.0 is less prone to expensive repairs.

 

That one has the 5.0. right? I know the Canadian ones have slightly different badging sometimes so what is here as an indicator in the US isn't always so in Canada. My buddy has one similar to that, same body style, a 2012 IIRC ext cab 6.5' bed XL trim and while he used to daily it, he had like 240k on it last I recall, but he ended up with his uncle's Volvo small SUV and that is his daily driver now. The old Ford is just used for when he needs a truck now.

 

Maybe they lost their weekend driver - you stressed him out so much he quit when he got back to the office - LOL

 

Oh, I agree. Mind you, I've heard enough stories about the engine I have now (hemi) needing rebuilds. I'm using the oil they like, and hopefully I'll be one of the ones who don't have issues. Or at least that I can get another truck beforehand, hoping to start looking next spring. But I'd like to keep my current truck as a project and/or plow truck if I can.

That's an American truck, Washington state. If she was here, I'd be tempted to go ahead and trade my truck for her. Has the base 3.7 V6. That's all I need, really.
