Re: Short Bed Without A Slider Hitch?

The only time you may have a concern is IF you are on uneven ground. In that situation a 90 degree turn could cause the front cap to hit the truck cab. For that reason I have a slider and I confess I have always been careful and never had to use it.

I saw a bird, I did, I did

I was traveling east on the 210 freeway in Los Angeles today about 2 pm coming up on the La Tuna Canyon off ramp and this bird passes me going west. Too early for Solvang. If it was you, you were looking good.

Re: 6.0 Diesel Class Action Suit

There was a Levy jean class action years ago. I was informed to expect payment. That had to have been 10 to 20 years ago. I guess the check is in the mail.

Maybe it was mailed in China!

Re: I LUV my 09 F250?

This time it was a real surprise. We did not have a lot of smelly exhaust and no smoke from exhaust. Dealer says it was a marginal loss of pressure that would not cause a significant loss of power. The front cover for the timing chain was also leaking. I do not know if the two are related or even co...

I LUV my 09 F250?

Re: Bed Liner

Line-X has been very good to me. I can't do anything to hurt it. My franchise removed bed before spraying so bolts are clean.

Re: A toy hauler Cardinal?

I do not think this was a new FW, but it was well maintained. And it was big. I have some toy haulers stored near us at the storage lot and they are big.
