Title: This Blows.......
Post by: 76NORDIC on June 18, 2008, 04:34:50 PM
Was on my way to Park Moabi aboutt an hour 30 minutes away from home and my USED to be old faithful Expedition decides to show the check engine light and run like crap. turned around in victorville and barely made it home or should I say chugged home. Used half a tank to get home :mad: And to think this was the last trip for it, because when I got back Im finally gettin a new truck :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I feel your pain man. But sitting here posting about it and waiting for the dang dealer to get 'er done aint gonna get you to the promised land brotha! O0 If i was you, Id just rent/borrow a vehicle and get your rig down to your Campsite and enjoy the rest of your week! Heck, I have an 07 Expedition which the lease is almost up on. Ive been contemplating just renting a truck for the times I go to the river and tow instead of making that 800 bucks a month nut for the tow vehicle. Just some ideas.

Or just pull the trigger on the new ride and see if they will work a deal on the way the current Expy is. What dealer is it at? Ken Grody Ford is my client and I got alot of pull down there, if you need me to make a call or anything I would be more than happy to. I got friends there also who can quote you on a new rig.

Ya tis nice ::) but will seriously cut into boat part monies, now ill have to be REAL cautious 8) when spending anything for the boat cause I know who will be watchin :sly:  Good thing it is turn key and dont really need anything, other than what I might want to upgrade >:D

Post by: 76NORDIC on July 02, 2008, 06:25:19 PM
Thanks for the offer GQ, but I had been talkin to a guy at Villa Ford for awhile now and thats where I ended up going. The bad part was that they only wanted to give me 2900 for the Expo, and thats with all the upgrades and all, AND they thot it was runnin fine :sly:  So nope I kept it. Ralph ill be taken it in after this weekend to hopefully get fixed, and ill let you know what was wrong with it. A good friend of mine gave me some ideas on how to check the valves and all but I really dont feel like messing with it. Gotta get the boat ready for my next river trip ;D ;D
