My 05 totaled. Interior fire. No injuries and not really sure what caused it but the interior is trashed. Really hoping to buy it back but have not heard from insurance yet.
you had me here, I feel your pain


At any rate, I'm buying a new truck in the fall. Possibly brand new depending on deals available but most likely a used '15 with 15-25k miles. But I am torn.
then you drew me in

Torn between an F250 and a Sierra/Silverado 2500. The 11-14 super duty is a nicer truck than the 11-14 GM. In my opinion anyway. I've driven a lot of both at work. The Ford's squeak and rattle less and the interior holds up better. I'm comparing the XLT Ford to the LT GM.

then I was like, WTF!

Well after pricing and a lot of thinking I've pretty much talked myself out new/almost new. I just didn't love either truck enough to spend $40k+. An older friend of mine has a cherry '10 lmm. If we can come together on a price and I can swing it this will be the new ride

If not probably just pickup a cheap lb7 to beat around till I find what I want.

I jumped on the lmm. Couldn't turn it down.

Then I was like, Awww, everything worked out and we didn't lose one to the darkness of costly repairs and silly acronyms

CONGRATS ON THE NEW RIDE!
Sorry about the loss on the old rig...

Thanks coco. I still do wonder how I'd have liked owning a 6.7 psd. But in the end I'm happy with the truck. Cheaper truck means built trans and other mods sooner. I think within a couple years it'll get a suncoast built trans and a something over stock twin kit. Thanks Tony
