I almost feel sorry for the guy that started this post, especially if he is reading all the posts that have followed his.
Yes, we all have had problems at one point or another with our trucks....given fact....you drive.....whatever it is, you'll have problems.
I think a lot of you (and don't come back jumping on me...i am not saying all of you...
) are being a little hard on him. We all handle things different and that is how he decided to handle it, regardless of how any of us would have handled it, that was his choice and he obviously felt like it was the right one for him. I don't think he deserves all the smart remarks he has gotten over trading from his truck to a focus. I think we need to remember we are here to help each other and support each other, not make them feel like they are stupid.

I got my truck running last night. So now....I LOVE MY TRUCK!!!!!!!!!
Also bought a new Airdog 150 off a fellow DTR member..I like this site.

Ya he brought it on himself. You don't come on a cummins loving forum and blame everyone for the fact that you messed up and traded your cummins in for a little car. It mightv been different if he had bought the car and kept the cummins, but he traded it in on the car then blamed us for it. His fault, not ours

I am glad that the original poster (poser) was able to get into a smaller, gasoline using vehicle. I wish that more people that purchased a heavy duty truck for appearance only would do the same. That should help lower the demand for diesel fuel and maybe allow the prices to hold the line for a month or two (notice I didn't saw lower). I use our trucks for business. We have a gas user for the back and forth grocery getting trips.

I agree. Thats what I said awhile back. If all the people that didn't need diesels would stop buying them then the price of diesel would at least stop rising and stay even with gas. It keeps going up because so many people are buying diesels now and the demand for diesel is going up. Its just the government and the oil companies playing us again. Theres no reason diesel should be more expensive than gas, they just see all these people driving diesels and see a chance to raise the price and make some more money
