Wow, I hope my truck can last like that. That would be amazing.

Ok, let's say the motor goes...stock 350 is about 1500-1700 bucks new from GM. A new truck could cost upto 600 or so a month. It is also very nice not to have a payment. If you like the truck put money into it. Hell many of us put more money into upgrades than the trucks are worth. But I can say with pride I drive a bad ass truck that gets a lot of attention.

Alright, Here goes nothing.

So my dad was telling me today that i was stupid for putting the money into my truck on "extras" because its old, high mileage, and will die soon. Heres my argument.

First off, I love my truck. Its my only hobby now. Working on it and keeping it clean and running smooth. The only things i have bought "extra" for it are grille, and $200 audio system. Otherwise i have done fuel filter, oil filter, air filter, synthetic oil change over, plugs, wires, and some other stuff i cant remember.

And, If i just replace things as they break or before they break why cant my truck last?

then tell him to buy you a new one or shut the f up.

I have two boys, one almost 19 and one 16....if they took half the interest of fixing up their cars like you, I'd be pleased. I'm sorry your father doesn't see it, but nowdays, there is alot worse stuff you could be spending your hard earned money on....drugs, pool halls,etc.

Keep it up, don't get discouraged.

Thanks, that makes me feel good. I dont drink, or smoke anything. I just keep myself busy enough not to have a chance to get introduced into it. I appreciate all the help guys.
