How much work DO YOU DO on your Truck

[trackspeeder]

I do everything myself................

























then when I got it good and broked up, I take it to a shop.

Ditto.

ok, i will be the first to admit it.

Same here for the following reasons:

1. Its still under warranty.
2. No time to do it myself - wife, kids, work, home repairs, etc. (rather play then work on the weekends).
3. Not sure how to do much of it.
4. My toolkit is ill-equiped for most auto repairs.
5. No real interest in learning or time to learn (intimidated really).

I prefer to drive to Miami, Ok to work on mine.

I was going to click everything, then I learned last night in chat about working on the ZF6. I'll do everything but that!

"or burn it trying"......


Good reason to make sure your insurance is up to date .... have to think... may get a new truck outa the deal.

I was disappointed that there wasn't a "nobody touches my truck but me" cause that's how it is.

The Trans. intimidates me, but I honestly haven't ever tried to get in one yet either.

The "burn it trying" isn't funny, either. I burnt the farm's '90 F350 chassis cab w 7.3/ 5 speed after doing brake work. I think I left a rag soaked with fluid under the master cylinder. Got 2 miles from home, the smoke started whisping from under the hood, stopped at the neighbor's, he came fling in, thought the farm was on fire.
Long story short, couldn't get the hood open. Well, the FD did, with a 6' bar.
Had a new paint job on it, too.
Boy, do I miss that truck
It was the worst telling pa what I did to it that night (I was 19)
I now carry a 5 lb extinguisher in my truck at all times, just in case...
