    I guess i should extend it. I realize the truck is 14 yo, but its always good to have a warranty.:handshake:

    And if i extend it they'll quit calling...right? :thumbs:

    I don't answer any number that I don't recognize, or is already in my contact list...and just recently my Android phone updated and now has a feature where it alerts you when in all likelihood a given call is a spam call...:yes:
    Even when I list something for sale, I put right in the ad to leave a message, I'll call you back...

    Same here....usually.
    I have a company fone, so sometimes i answer because it might be a delivery driver. I swear, the d@mn fone only rings when i have my hands full. Last week i was gluing an 8" schedule 80 pvc fitting...when my warranty ran out...:hair:

    These are probably the most annoying calls ever.

    I haven't tried it yet, but I hear that if you mess with them by saying that you have a Bugatti Veyron or other similar hyper expensive car to maintain, that they will leave you alone. An extended warranty on one of those would drive the warranty companies bankrupt.

    Just the opposite. I would tell them that I have several cars and I am very interested in purchasing a warranty for all of them. Then I would laugh and say very bad things to them. The calls increased after that. Now I just ignore them.

    Yeah, that's a way to get more calls. I prefer to not get any of these crap calls.

    Aww man, didn't even have to break out the ratchet straps for that one? :rofl: :lol: :D

    I wonder if I have any of those old pics. 24" Sched 80 J bends that were discharges in a massive cistern. Primer and glue applied with paint rollers, ratchet strap 'em together.
