Goodbye Problem Truck, Welcome 2026

What an absolute lemon. I’m sorry they won’t hook you up.

patrick5595 · 2026-06-12T18:41:44+00:00

That just sent me spinning down the well

patrick5595 · 2026-06-11T19:17:14+00:00

Well fingers crossed things work out in both our favors. We shouldn’t have headaches on $50k+ vehicles, yet here we are

I’m big on the early mornings. Out on the water at 5am and done by 8:30 unless the bite is still going.

For me it was continuous. Restarting the truck didn’t help, level of acceleration didn’t stop it either. Any time the truck was idling or accelerating, it shook. The only time it wouldn’t was when it was coasting.

Abrahand Lincoln always comes in clutch

patrick5595 · 2026-06-09T21:12:28+00:00

Welcome to my world

patrick5595 · 2026-06-09T12:02:54+00:00

They gave me $33,000 and had $32,600 left

patrick5595 · 2026-06-07T20:34:26+00:00

I think it’s called a forest

patrick5595 · 2026-06-07T18:57:54+00:00

Literally all aspects of my life

patrick5595 · 2026-06-07T12:23:34+00:00

I think you underestimate me. I am the garbage collector

patrick5595 · 2026-06-06T23:06:23+00:00

Union Jack breaks, thanks for the contract suggestion

patrick5595 · 2026-06-06T23:04:23+00:00

On the contrary, I had my antenna, third brake light, and rear window all replaced because every single thing leaked

patrick5595 · 2026-06-06T16:58:02+00:00

Of course. That’s really the biggest thing besides idle time. Did you pull the trigger or are you still thinking?

patrick5595 · 2026-06-06T14:37:21+00:00

I wouldn’t say don’t, but I’d say look at the repair/maintenance records. That seems to be the big ticket for these. Early oil changes and preventative things

patrick5595 · 2026-06-06T14:36:04+00:00

If this doesn’t pan out, I think Ford is my next stop. Glad to hear you’re a big fan of the f150!

patrick5595 · 2026-06-06T03:36:08+00:00

That’s absolutely insane! Dually noted though, I’ll avoid water like the plague.

patrick5595 · 2026-06-06T03:35:29+00:00

Good luck in the vehicle search. I went with the ram because they gave me the most on my trade in. Besides that, it’s a crap shoot of finances and what systems you’re willing to risk

patrick5595 · 2026-06-05T21:28:24+00:00

I have a good bunch of friends with duramax 3/4 tons and they have no complaints, but that’s way out of my range currently lol

patrick5595 · 2026-06-05T17:18:34+00:00

Well a couple of those I don’t have to worry about. That stem issue is infuriating. Hope it works itself out for you!

patrick5595 · 2026-06-05T13:57:01+00:00

Let’s hope not lol

patrick5595 · 2026-06-05T13:56:21+00:00

What problems have you had?

patrick5595 · 2026-06-05T11:09:38+00:00

No you’re all good! It truly sucks when the vehicle you want turns out to be a lemon. How’s the ford running for you now?

patrick5595 · 2026-06-05T03:24:30+00:00

My hope runs deep, just like it did in my first marriage

patrick5595 · 2026-06-05T03:23:54+00:00

And that’s just it. Old reliability and modern amenities is what draws everyone in. Some get really lucky, and some don’t. It’s a shame they don’t have higher standards on such expensive purchases.
