The wife's expedition was getting kinda tired so I finally pulled the trigger.

I'm jealous of all you guys getting new trucks. I picked up a '95 F-150 with all of the tow goodies and under 80,000 miles from the original owner 2 years ago. She rattled a little on start-up and lost oil pressure when hot so I tapped in a set of main and rod bearings from the bottom but now she rattles again:(. The crank must be shot. I think the guy towed the guts out of this truck and with the amount of rust underneath it just isn't worth putting more money into. I also don't like the way EFI engines rev on start-up before the oil circulates. The transmission is new and usually the 5.0 is good for a couple hundred thousand miles. Now I'm just hoping to get one more season out of it but with all my long tows to Oscoda I don't know:(. Anyway I hope to join you all with a new white F-150 in spring of 2009!:yippie:

Its a 2003 H2 fully loaded. It has 115k miles so I got a smoking deal because I wore the guy out.

The inside is immaculate and its a blast to drive.
It also had all the maintenance records.

I posted a photo at the top of the therad.

Oh if you notice I also added A Donzi Sticker to the back:wink:

Looks like it's time for tires!!! The Nittos that are on it are worth 2-3 mpg more than that BFG Spare. The BFG's are good, But soft and have more rolling resistance.

How did you know they were Nitto Tires? The photo was not that goos!

Drove the Master Mobile Friday going to Lunch. I HAVE to admit I was impressed. It rides and handles very nice, and has a shopping list of bells and whistles.

Angel was impressed too......dam* it:smash:
..........and we thought it was a fancy Tahoe.

Still, I won't be trading in the Mega Cab any time soon:wink:

Atomic Tan yellow H2 quite a bit over the last year or so.

It is quite the beast and I am impressed with how solid it is after four years and what I think is about 70K-ish miles.

So maybe next time, with the new GM diesel, I'll have to take a closer look-see.
