Hurricane to La Mesa may prove to be a bit of a challenge!!
Seriously; if you look at the older trucks and find one that has been well cared for (and documented) they really will go a long time. Mrs simicrintz's vehicle is diesel as well and uses DEF; try to avoid a vehicle that uses DEF if you find a diesel. I could replace my truck with a new one for around $80K, or I could spend the occasional few dollars on it as needed to keep the old gal running-I choose the latter!
Good luck in your search!!

Well done, sir!!

2005 Duramax 2500. Bought it new, sold it to friend that last time diesel went crazy ('07 as I recall) and bought it back from him about 7 years ago; won't ever sell it again. Turned 285,000 miles today. Chipped (450 HP) and lifted and it will pull anything I throw at it (and I pull a lot of trailers). This is pre DEF. Put in an alternator and just finally had the trans rebuilt; other than that nothing but oil changes (and one set of brakes). May be more than you want/need but will be the last truck you'll need to buy and you won't regret having the power (side note; filled up today-282 miles on the odo and it took 16 gallons; not bad for a 6,000 pound vehicle!).

Right on. I always like it when the combined group info can be used to help a fellow rider!

What year is his bike? There was a thread on here some time back about the seat sitting on the ground and messing things up. I have some pics (somewhere!) if that's the place he's having trouble that I'll dig up if needed.

Oh-I know; just gonna be even tougher from Utah. Heck, he lived about two miles from me when I was still there and never got the chance

Been fortunate enough to meet the Kug but never did get to ride with him; definitely my loss

I found Schwinn's funeral pamphlet the other day in my desk; mixed feelings-gone too soon

Just watched it the other night (Mert Lawwill running out of his van, Wardy and his wheelie, the wheelie kid on his bicycle, etc.); how cool would that be to see on the big screen again?!
Can't believe it's been 50 years; I'm really getting old.....

Hard to read/see; best wishes for a quick and complete recovery!
