If you're planning to keep that truck for the long haul, I'll share one thing I'm doing with my new work truck as soon as I get a free day. Mine only has 500 miles on it. I'm going to take it to a local guy and have him drain the coolant and put my own in. Manufacturers and repair shops are notorious for putting in the cheapest dog shit fluids they can get their hands on. I asked Ford what kind of coolant they were putting in their gas engines, and their head almost popped off. Nobody could answer. They finally showed me a jug, and the shit is so bad they don't even state the life of the coolant. I know you're way out of my network, but other companies have good coolants too. Cenex has a brand called Farm Oyl Ultra Diesel Pre-mix, or Chevron has Delo XLC. Those coolants go 4-12 times longer than whore house factory-fill coolants. Pre-mixed will ensure you don't get a shit load of chloride and sulfate in your engine block from well or tap water. They also don't require any maintenance other than topping off when they get low. No filters needed, no re-additizing the shit at 75,000 or 300,000 miles, no need for refracting to check inhibitor levels. Just add more. The Farm Oyl coolant is the only one that is remotely close to mine. When you see one that carries the Cat, Deere, and Cummins approvals, you know you've got a good coolant. I just put 320,000 miles on my last truck and never opened the radiator cap once.

Probably get kick backs.... Pay it off on the first pay stub. Can't You have to make a min amount of loan payments before you can pay it off, or you pay a penalty of the same amount. Mother Fucking Scam if you ask me! AHHHHA! A profit scheme eh? So......some of these car companies are figuring out how to game the customers.....just like the customers game the sellers. Grin. A vicious circle. You aint the only one trying to make a buck MO. Suck it up. LMAO

I'm in the process of getting a new truck also. Friend of mine owns the dealership....i told him I'd deal with him and him only. I said if a sales person even greets me at the door, I'm out. It's been the best car dealings ever. I said I don't want to deal with the bull shit, I just want a truck.

That happens.....and I am outta there too! As has been said: "your word is our bond". ^ Most folks used to operate under this credo.....but not so many these days. I like GOOD sales people....but the bad ones are a scourge on the earth....and can really piss me off. Too many of those guys these days.

For me, I hate buying cars or trucks. I can buy anything else, but I hate car salesman. I will say the guy I talked to out at the Ford Garage in Morris MN has been great. Told him to get me the price I am writing the check out for. I want nothing else. And he did. Game me a extra $750 off, enough money to get the ball hitch installed in the bed. He is driving 2 hours tomorrow to pick it up so the shop guys can have it installed when I get there thursday morning. What a difference from the other guy this morning! So there are a few good sales guys left Foggy!

I just bought a used pickup. I can't afford new and I pay cash.
Upsala Motors treats me well.

Changing the topic slightly......the economy must be really good. LOTS of new trucks are selling.....and new BOAT sales are crazy good.....so are RV's and Motorhomes, etc. Boats and RV's are a sign of a TOP in the markets - in my experience. Old saying: "When things are looking up - look out". (hope I'm wrong)

If I never have to make a $500+ monthly truck payment ever again, life will be good. I want a building, even if that means I'm driving my rusted out 2001 chevy cavalier up there to work on the land. At least the building will add and hold some value for a while.

Old saying: "When things are looking up - look out". (hope I'm wrong) Truck volumes are actually down year over year, particularly for GM. Dodge Ram took the second spot in the top 3 last year.
Lots of incentives on the 1/2 tons this spring and I am hoping after mid-year they'll have incentives on the Ford Super-Duty.
You know you need a new truck when the wife hates riding in your old truck.

I think truck volumes are down because they last longer. 50 years ago you didn't hear of vehicles going 300,000 miles

Basically what we have established is most of the chuck norris jokes can be used by replacing his name for Mo, gotcha!

I made a deal with my self when I purchased my farm, no new truck until the farm was paid off and most of the equipment I wanted was paid for. Last payment on the Farm was June 2nd and all my stuff is paid for.
Agree you need to make deals with yourself and have the discipline to stick with them. Once you have completed your deal (10 years) you will have earned and be ready for a new truck.
