I have been looking and following what diesels like mine are going for in the 08-11 platform and a used one with 25,000 to 55,000 miles are going for $35,000 up to over $40,000 hell there is a twin to my truck with 32k on it going for $32,995 at a dealer just outside of Green Bay.

Looks like its time for me to kick Bank of America to the curb since they are now going to charge for using your debit card.

They're not the only ones going to do this either.....so when looking for a new bank pay close attention to the fine print and ask alot of questions.....

Pretty cool, there is a lot of tonnage in cast iron sitting there in 5in or 6in and what looks to be 3in and in 20ft lengths like judging be the size of the pallet thats under it. Is that an R&R job or just removal?

Never had a debit card and hopefully they will never require me to have one. All the banks will be charging the fee before long.

They're putting on a new roof on the building and insulating it......I had to evaluate the pipe as I took it out......the whole pile is condemned

BTW....the pipe is steel not cast.....sizes are 6" and 2.5" schedule 15.....

Hard to tell the material from the picture but I knew it was metal of some type. That's nuts, are they just going to sell it for scrap tonnage or is there something special you have to do with once it's condemed?

Why you asking? Are you thinking John might want to buy it to make some stacks?

Their company is going to scrap it out and then after the new roof we'll come back and install new.......this old pipe had a lot of leaks popping through the pipe also.....its about 30 years old.....

Nope, I am just curious. No I prefer the exhaust on my truck to exit behind the wheels for my own amusement and torturing the little rice rockets that tail gate my truck or the idiot with the loud stereo that's so loud I can't have a phone conversation in my truck with the windows up. Nothing says F you!! like straight pipe turbo whine and a cloud of soot in the open rice rocket drivers window with the exhaust at face level.

That's about the life span of steel and cast pipe in schedule 15. Sounds like it's going to be just as much fun to put it back in.

I said JOHN might want it, not you.
