....I rest my case, that's why I STAY in South Texas!!! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
And as far as working on the engine of that F450, you're correct...it's gonna be a night mare. Glad I'm not a mechanic. The old theory of "F-series instead of E-series because the mechanics find them easier to work on" is probably out the window, you think? Oh, and heaven forbid that you "bump" into something without a grille guard on those...I lost count of the coolers all lined up behind that plastic grille!!

Yeah, funny thing when I was filling up at the gas station today, they mistakenly piped in the weather for Texas. I knew something was wrong when they called for three straight days of sun. But then they said temps in the 70's for Temple. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
You know it's not that bad from June to August up here!! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Well Ok so that's a stretch, I must say I didn't mind Texas when I went down there, of course the 104 degrees wasn't bad becuse it was a dry heat! HA HA HA!!
Back on topic you better have a small deductable if you wreck those F-series! Almost makes you think if you have a small fender bender the truck will be written off!! Instead of the huge repair bill.
You know being a mechanic might be a good thing, I bet it will pay off real well with this truck. Maybe even better than a salesmen.
Take it easy and don't soak up too many of the rays and heat down there.
