Today in talking with him he said he called his lawyer when he got up yesterday.. Sounds like he is more "upset" then i thought. I will delete my 11 when i get the funds.. I'm starting a new job soon but the commute is going to eat some cash..

DJ.. i would love to find a nice second gen and set it up for driving every day.. I may still end up in a jeep tj.. i would prefer a cj but thats how things go...
I daily drive my 02 truck, its gets all the boring work/commute mileage. The front end is so messed up and has some issues with death wobble, but its from bad BJ's, tie rods, hubs and so on. The 2010 has been rock solid so far, but it doesn't get to be bashed to death on the back oil field lease road like the 02 does. My 2010 has only 56000km's on it so far, most of it been pulling my RV.

I'm glad to say.. even with my trailer on the front of my truck wont wobble..

Now as far as my ole mans truck.. he called today.. says he started his truck.. It sounds like someone took the head off tossed a hand full of bolts in and closed it up.. So.. I am heading over tomorrow to check it out. Then help him decide on the plan of attack for Chrysler.

Is this on the 2011 truck? Heard about a few issues with the 2012's with head gaskets. I'm building myself a good spare 6.7L engine, just incase I start having issues. I really want to do some clean-up under the hood and throw in my larger sized injector nozzles

Nice, I ride an 07 V-Rod. Had a 04 Heritage previously. My wife rides an old but sweet 96 SuperGlide.
