SO it seemed that it was time, so i now am a diesel owner.
06' Ford Crew Cab 4x4, FX4, with about everything except for sunroof. This beast even has twin alternators, 380 amps. Drives and rides nice. Looked at at all of them, nothing within 4G of what I paid. Got $12G off.
Off to Canada in 2 months, a round trip to Canmore (Tom lookout).
SPam: a creampuff 2000 EXPEDITION, 2WD, SPORT, ALL WHITE WITH LEATHER. Gets about 18 MPG freeway, 3.73 gears, posi. Not even a door ding, 45K miles, SOny 360 sound, chrome 18". Somewhere round $11,750. Nothing in Autotrader less than 76K miles. PM me if interested.

Hmm so Im guessing the sticker was 48k on it and you are telling us you paid 36k for it. Man that tells us something maybe the 60 serivice bulletins open on the 6.0 is a sign. Well good lcuk with yours I love that truck just cant depend on the motor and didnt like driving a ford focus when it went in the shop. Good luck and you got a good price.

Canmore sucks , tell the rcmp I said so :p . Canmore is in Alberta close to the bc border . They [ghost car] caught me for speeding a mile from the bc border [ should have floored it and outrun them :rolleyes: ] with no other cars in sight but them .I haven't returned to alberta for 10 yrs , so tell them to throw my ticket in the waste basket :D You should visit Lake Louise and the Columbia Ice fields while there :cool: .

No Karl, I will be building more garages for the toys. It is a F-250. And on Canmore, I am having a place built one block off of the village and one block from the Bow River. And I have been to Lake Louise and the ice fields. I plan on spending time in Calgary during Stampede week in July. Aside from that, the Canmore place is a seasonal rental, and expensive one as U must know.
...And if some are starting to wonder, yes, I am semi retiring, but still doing the insurance claims stuff, just enjoying life a bit more.
And the photo radar in the Calgary area SUCKS. Lets call it cheating.
