[SEL] O.T O.T Need to talk to 3/4T Truck Owner

[Bill Boyce]

hi paul,, one suggestion on a 3/4 ton, if you get a diesel, and it doesnt 
have 4wd, you can forget about driving on other than hard surfaces, just too 
much weight on the front wheels,,i have a 92 dodge and it will hardly pull 
itself out of a heavy dew on grass !!  but on the plus side, other than new 
brake shoes and pads its never been in the shop, NEVER,,,, even the A/C has 
never been touched and will still freeze ya out,,,,it has the old mechanical 
fuel injection pump and will get 19 and 20 mpg on the highway even with an 
engine trailer behind it,,, wish i could buy a new one just like it 
again,,,, i added air bag helper springs on the rear, and use them 
occasionaly when i'm pulling a heavily loaded gooseneck livestock 
trailer,,,,i had a 1/2 ton chev set up the same way, but theres just no 
compairing the 1/2 and 3/4 ton,, hope this helps,,

I need to talk to anyone that owns a 3/4 Ton Pickup truck, need some advice 
before I buy one. Thanks

Paul
