Washed and waxed the truck tonight. Probably the last wax of the year, I'd like to get at least one more in though.
Your welcome. I picked my 312 up for $850 with the deck and the snow blade. I wish that was closer but I have a line on my next one already.

Got a little watery eyed as Black Rose was driven away. He drove it and said he wanted it. They could not believe is was so clean. Made me feel good for taking good care of it.

Unbelievable coincidence. I had been told they were from Killeen, but that was a mistake. They were from Breckenridge and drove over 2 hours to get here. Breckenridge is where I was born and have lots of cousins still there. He had borrowed the money for the truck from my cousin's bank, and brought a cashier's check which my cousin had signed.

They had done a carfax on the truck and new all about it already. I am glad a young guy that seems to appreciate ended up with it. One of the reasons I wanted to sell it myself, plus I got what I wanted for it. Still painful, though, I love that truck.

btw another thing about the tuner ........how long can you run the extreme, just like any other tune or no? cuz I remember like 2 years ago one of my friends telling me that his uncle or something ran his truck on some extreme for a day or two straight and it up his engine but idk maybe he was using the wrong fuel.

Gas milage still stands at 17 and have gone about 350 miles in it since, but it is still changing every quarter or mile or so, if its avg over the whole time shouldnt have leveled out by now? Also I have it showing the instant avg. too and when I coast the instant shows up as like 60+mpg and when I accelerate it is like 5mpg which makes sense, but if all it is doing for the avg is adding all the instants and dividing by the total number that would skew the hell out of it towards a higher number (a 60 would pull an avg more than a 5.....might explain high mpgs)...Dono just a theory.
Also I checked the gear ratio and couldnt find where to change it but my speedo is right so shouldnt that mean gears are right?

Glad you got it sold to someone who will take care of it. Saw my '04 the other day towing a boat. After driving a vehicle over 100k miles and selling it, it's kinda like losing a body part!

Daughter's car will be paid off in August and I've been looking at 2012 v6 mustangs. Nice cars and I love the race car sound the 3.7v6 makes.

I think I'll just do more work to the truck instead.

Yes, miss her a lot. I really don't have much interest in modding the new one. It's just isn't "my" truck.
