  1. Not necessarily, they are all good trucks, even a 6.0 that has been “fixed”. The 7.3 is probably the best diesel truck motor ever built in terms of reliability. You still see them regularly on the road. Ive owned two of them and wouldn’t hesitate buying one again. That said, those trucks are getting old now and the insides will be tired. The shit around that great motor is also getting old, some some minor repairs you should be prepared for. The hp and torque on the newer 6.7 absolutely crushes the 7.3.
  2. No 6.2. You’ve got 7.3, 6.0, 6.4, and 6.7. 6.0 is the turd you don’t want. 6.4 is good if it has been maintained. Major repair on anything after 7.3 has potential to be very expensive because cab has to be removed.
  3. I don’t think that truck is a 7.3 year model. Edit: the second one. The first one appears to be 7.3 year model
  4. I agree and think the modern 1/2 ton is good for 90% of time. A travel trailer is a whole different animal than a boat though. The wind load on them can shake a 3/4 ton easy whe it’s just right. A big bumper pull is on a 1/2 ton is scary as fuck at times.
  5. Ha! Make sure you get the seats with massage feature. One of those things is not like the other. Guarantee if you upgrade tundra motor to 800hp you will still be in a 3/4 ton within a year. First time you pull that trailer to the coast with wind or rain and you’ll be white-knuckling that thing at 45mph tops.
  6. Ah, the ole justify a new truck because of the toy I just bought phenomenon. Been there a few times
  7. To weather the storm of stupid is impressive. That girl on the left will either die early if alcoholism or becom a high level executive.
  8. Also got the eidl email and logged in. Went up to 150k. So very tempting. I have savings and can weather the storm, I think. But terms are so good. Read somewhere that above 25k they are requesting collateral. Is that true? With that usually comes insurance requirements I’m not okay with, so thinking I might just do 25k.

  10. I once handed a paycheck to an employee that was for 800 hours of work instead of 80. I didn’t notice until I was reconciling the account at end of the month. The check had not been cashed and when I confronted the employee she still had it in her desk in the envelope, she never even noticed my mistake. Whew. I make it a habit to thumb through and look at every paycheck now before I sign them.
  11. This dude fucks
  12. I wouldn’t be concerned about it unless it was vibrating unusually.
  13. I don’t get it either, but that appears to be one huge bitch.
  14. Maybe I missed the explanation, but why are meat packing plants hotbeds of this virus? There’s bound to be hundreds of meat packing facilities, are they all experiencing this?
  15. I can’t speak to your father’s specific condition. But my father in law was on some pretty heavy antibiotics with a picc line to kill some sort of blood infection and the antibiotics killed his kidneys. He was on dialysis the rest of his life because of it. Not a dr, and not saying that will happen, but may want to ask about potential pitfalls of his treatment.
  16. Kindle Unlimited series I really enjoyed and hadn’t seen mention of is Chronicles of an Imperial Legionary Officer series by Marc Alan Edelheit. 5 books in series so far. Think Roman legion meets Lord of the Rings
  17. This gentleman, is a prime example of the elusive anti-humblebrag
  18. You should outsmart her and install a media air cleaner on the unit. Only have to go up there once a year to change it and it filters better.
  19. I’m just responding to this post because it was the most recent. I know you’re kind of a respected poster around these parts, I respect tour posts. But Jesus Christ man, can you put a tampon in your bleeding pussy please? If it’s not your disenfranchised eastern block adopted family, your wife’s zombie airport run, your cancerous church buddy, tour daughter’s entrapment in Canada, your sons emo struggles with baseball and friends, et al., it your propensity to wrap tour brisket. I move to change your handle to “tritip communist munchausen By proxy via the internet boi”. Yes I am Drank as fuck, may have made some of those accusations up from memory and will regret this post, but fuckin hell, get ahold of yourself. Go watch that Aussie chopper harden the fuck up vid a few times.
  20. Might be some motorboating going on in your future
  21. My eidl advance showed up today. No emails at all
  22. Multiple bank accounts sounds like a huge pain in the ass and unnecessary work/expense. 10 bank statements, or one, shouldn’t mean a shit. We pay for enterprise level accounting software for a reason.
  23. Well, no shit. Doesn’t every self-respecting business owner file an extension? Seems silly
  24. Same for me. Plenty of work in pipeline right now. New work has been non-existent past month. I’m a wholesale manufacturer that depends on a network of brick and mortar retailers to sell my products. If shit doesn’t start opening up soon, I’m in trouble.
