I found that add very interesting! Anyone check out the add of the Nissan Titan? I am glad that they came to the relization that they didnt have what it take to make a truck so fast with no experience and put it on the job site.

 

My brother has a 04 Titan which I have always that was a stupid idea from the beginning... He logs onto this titan forum similar to this one, I have long thought about loggin in as username titanhater... I think that I could support that name heavily with all the crap that you kind find about them.... I know that he has had a loud of problems with his!

Ouch! I bet all the Ford boys are crying over this.

 

The 6.0 PSD was a big enough joke, I wonder who'd opt for the 6.4l anyways. If I were looking to get one, I'd deffinately wait a few years just to see how they hold up.

The supply break is actually old news, and isn't even an issue anymore:

 

On 3/5 Navistar cut off supply to Ford,

On 3/7 a judge ordered them to start supplying to Ford again,

On 3/13 Ford and Navistar announced they had reached an agreement on terms.

 

Just a short "blip" ocurred in supply of the PowerStroke. I do agree that the quality of the engine may be an issue, but most of the disagreement between Ford and Navistar stems from the previous 6.0L PowerStroke, not the new one in the 2008 Super Duties (the new one is the supply that was cut off for 2 days).

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, they can remotely disable the device. B) Make sure it's paid off. If they still owe money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
