    Attitude adjusted! Thanks OVM, completely unintended by you but your free health care statement got me on to look at some plans. I could have 80% prescription and 80% dental along with some other perks for not too much money. I've been to the dentist twice at 15 and at 21...21 years old the...

    Not at all. Could not replace that time with the kids tho, last del was Feb 28th. Wife says I'm stubborn cause I'd rather stay home than work in a way I don't want to. $380 CDN for full coverage + 2 mil liability, and only $220 for 250k cargo insurance...if the "new" carrier doesn't play nice...

    Sadly I've decided this is the last diesel I'm going to own. Everything I love about them is based on pre-emissions. Propane near me at 1.31 a gallon helps...my next van will be a dual fuel
