At that price I’d jump on a pair!

Yeah, blind PMs reek of fraud, too. I didn't realize he was still on here. Just for what it's worth, on a couple of firearms forums I read, trustworthy/longtime users have had their account hijacked somehow, and the hijacker then sends emails to folks offering whatever they're looking for. The...

That poster only had four posts, looks like, and all four were to sell something. That's usually a bad sign. But those posts were all over a year ago, unless I'm missing something. That horse is out of the barn, through the gate, and has trotted down the lane by now. He's probably even been...

Impressive fuel mileage! Glad you like it so far.

Never seen the "pegging" done, but they used to, and maybe still do, top out the old growth trees by climbing them. If I remember correctly, this was originally a Sanka "commercial", or maybe Maxwell House? They've cut out the part with him pouring from his labeled Thermos:

I hope it turns out to be a good truck for you, you've earned it. I'd push for a partial refund or some kind of goodwill gesture for the month you've not been able to use it and the mileage put on it. As the manager said, "It's now a used truck", why would they expect you to pay a new price for...

You can’t put junk batteries in newer diesels (yes, I’m old enough that I still consider a 7.3 “newer” LOL). These trucks seem particularly sensitive to low voltage, and if the computer isn’t getting enough clean power it just shuts down. Many newer vehicles are like this but the diesels seem...

You need to hire a hit man to set that thing on fire on the dealer's lot. After all the wiring issues, it could easily be blamed as an electrical fire. ;) Just kidding, of course, but good grief the dealership is getting ridiculous. "We'll lose money on it"? That's between them and Ram, not...

Interesting!

Yep, I think it's time.

It's hard to tell how many computers that damaged wiring harness shorted out.

Definitely not white oak, which is what I guessed from the end grain and bark. I'm not at all familiar with pecan, as it's not native here, so the folks that suggested it could very well be correct. I really enjoy learning from everyone else here, especially when it's things I haven't seen or...

It's good to have found a definite cause, for sure. Good luck with your new truck!

The ends are so weathered that it's hard to tell for sure, but the bark looks like the white oak family, anyway.

Maybe this guy knows what he's talking about; he keeps saying he's got 40 years of experience... But with his droning voice and hand-held camera shaking around I felt like I was on a deep-sea fishing boat in a storm with Eeyore. I could not finish watching.
