I have 71,800 on my 05. I'm putting 160 fewer miles per week on it, since the job change.

Dents, scrapes, etc. are fine with me but holes in the bed would ruin my day.

You have a good attitude about it, anyway. When I used to hual a lot of engines, I would use long 4x4 blocks where the motor mounts go and prop it up. Then use a long 2x4 to keep it from going back and forth and tied it down where it would barely wiggle.

Well i was doing 100 with it yes. but thats a long story

lets just say a guy in a CX7 (mazda crossover) thought it would be a good idea to pass me (i was in the left lane on S 35) and he passed me between me and the concrete wall, barely squeezing by

I tried to chase him down but there is only so much my truck can do with a 900# engine in the bed

I hadn't noticed. Thanks.

You could have thrown some legs on the bird, while you were messing with it.
